How to Make Chunky Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  4. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. For chewier cookies, bake for 12 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake for 14 minutes.
  6. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
