How to Make Cheater's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 2 cups chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional). Mix until just combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  5. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Halfway through baking, gently flatten each cookie with a spatula.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
