EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- CHOCOLATE CHIP



Easy Cake Mix Cookies- Chocolate Chip image

I frequently make these cookies for work pitch-ins & family get-togethers. They are always a big hit! I was given the basic recipe several years ago by a lady who showed up at my garage sale-and she wrote it down during our conversation about baking. I have perfected different varieties over the years. Please see my other recipes for how to make the following versions of this cookie: chocolate-chocolate chip, lemon, & sugar cookies. This is a really versatile recipe base-experiment!! These "chocolate chippers" will not taste like the Nestle Tollhouse variety...but have a delightful yummy taste of their own.

Provided by KitchenAndCraftAdve

Categories     Dessert

Time 13m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended (best to do right before you are ready to bake them- they flatten out more if you let the batter set).
  • Spoon onto 2 un-greased cookie sheets (allow some space in between, they spread...a melon baller works great for this step).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes (depends on which cake mix you use & the oven -- I start looking at them through the glass around 6.5 minutes -- they will get a dull/cracked appearance on top when done).
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan, or wait 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Cookies should be soft & chewy.

STUPID EASY TRIM HEALTHY MAMA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Stupid Easy Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by paulmartinjr

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup softened salted butter
1/3 cup Gentle Sweet, DIY Gentle Sweet (my pick), or low-carb sweetener of choice
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray two baking sheets with coconut oil baking spray. Set aside. Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sweetener. Add eggs one at a time, beating for one minute and scraping the bowl after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Add almond flour and baking soda and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Use a tablespoon-size cookie scoop to portion out 18 cookies, dividing them between the two prepared pans. It's alright if they're fairly close together because they won't spread much. Bake cookies for 7 minutes, then rotate pans top to bottom and front to back and bake for 7 minutes more. Cool on pans for five minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months.

An easy chocolate chip cookies recipes is a must in anyone's cooking repertoire. They are perfect for the holidays, or just as an added little treat for you and your family. Making them from scratch avoids all of the added preservatives, or artificial coloring- not to mention leaves your home smelling like yummy chocolate chip cookies.

Provided by Chef Adriana

Categories     Chocolate Chip Cookies

Time 45m

Yield 48 Cookies, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup coarsly chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 390 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, butter, vanilla and egg together. Do not over beat the mixture. If using a hand mixer only go for about a minute and a half. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add the chocolate chips . Mix until combined. For smaller cookies use a rounded tablespoon to dish out round dough balls. For larger cookies, an ice cream scoop works well. Before you cook your cookies, freeze them first. Doing this will ensure that the flour and butter cook at the same time, which leaves you with plump rounded cookies (the reason most homemade cookies turn out flat and greasy is because the butter cooks out first). Once frozen, on an ungreased cookie pan cook for 10 minutes. Finally, take the cookies out of the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow your easy chocolate chip cookies to cool and then enjoy!

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
½ cup butter flavored shortening
1 tablespoon water
2 eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar

These are best served the same day, as the confectioners' sugar becomes absorbed by the cookie giving it a pasty look. This can be fixed by dusting the cookies with sugar again.

EASY CHOCOLATE-PEPPERMINT COOKIES



Easy Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies image

For holiday cookies, peppermint candies move from the candy dish and into deep, slightly bitter chocolate dough to create an irresistibly bold flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
3 large eggs
45 round swirled peppermint candies, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add sugar, extracts, and eggs; mix on medium-low speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture. Stir in one-third of the candies. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 30 minutes (or wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight).
  • Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, form mounds of dough; dip tops into remaining candies to coat. Place cookies, candy sides up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies until just set, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Conclusion:

With the right ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can easily make delicious chocolate chip cookies at home. Remember to follow the recipe carefully, use high-quality ingredients, and take the time to chill the dough before baking. With practice, you'll be able to create perfect chocolate chip cookies that everyone will love.
