Chocolate Oat Cake-Mix Cookies

Recipe #105054 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Roxygirl in Colorado

I always make my cookies from scratch, but I was intrigued by the idea of using cake mix, so I gave it a try. I live in high altitude and added extra flour and my texture was great- chewy, chubby, and soft in the middle. You may want to try mixing some good-quality peanut butter chips with the semi-sweet.

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

optional

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (This is for high altitudes and I added it. I loved the texture which was chewy and not too cakey) (optional)
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tablespoon water, mixed with
  • instant coffee (If you added the extra flour the dough will need this)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, flour, eggs, butter, and oats, and chips.
  2. 2
    Add the extra water if dough is too crumbly.
  3. 3
    Drop by heaping tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
  4. 4
    Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes, or until set.
  5. 5
    Note: I baked the cookies with the additional flour in regular altitude but preferred using 375 temperature.
  6. 6
    Cool for 5 minutes and remove to wire racks.

    GREAT RECIPE! I made this with a yellow cake mix, w/ the choc. chips & they really are excellent. The oatmeal is the secret ingredient in these, & gives 'em a homemade taste & a nice texture. My kids loved these-thanks

    This was my first cake-mix cookie. There is another much rated mix-cookie recipe on Zaar, but I liked this one because it sounded somehow "different." It's fantastic! I used a stick of melted butter, and added only 2 Tbs flour. (I'm in Houston...no altitude here!) I also used tollhouse mini chocolate chips (all I had) and added a handful of coconut. I baked them for 8 minutes at 350. It IS important to let them cool on the cookie sheets. They literally fall apart if you try to pick one up too soon. But, they firm up nicely and remain blisfully chewy. MMMMM! Try it!

    YUMMY! I really liked this recipe. Even though I live in Ohio, I also added the flour, and the coffee, and water. I didn't have chocolate chips so I added butterscotch chips. I also added about 2 teaspoons of ground flax seed for the simple fact, that with the chocolate, and the oatmeal, the family would never catch on. and they didn't, and they loved it. This is great because of the ease of the recipe, quickly put together, and taste great. thank you!
