Chocolate Chip Cake Batter Cookies
Today I wanted to share a quick recipe that will be perfect for your Christmas Cookie Tray. I found these Chocolate Chip Cake Batter Cookies on Pinterest a couple months back. The original recipe was pinned by Tried and Tasty and I couldn't wait to give it a try. I did adapt the recipe slightly by using butter in place of oil and adding a bit of vanilla extract.
Cookies with a cake mix what a great combination not to mention a huge time saver. I always have a cake mix or two on hand, so these cookies are perfect if you need a quick treat to take to a holiday party.Beware though because these cookies are so addicting! There's no better sight than a full cookie jar, but all those cookies pictured above were gone the very next day. The kids really liked them, so I can't wait to make another batch.
By using a cake mix the flavor possibilities can be quite tasty. I think next time I want to try a chocolate cake mix and use a combination of peanut butter and chocolate chips.White cake mix and chocolate chips are a good choice as well. I think the Funfetti cake mix would be great for the holidays and you could toss in some white chocolate chips. Just use your imagination.
Ingredients:
1 - 18.25 oz. box yellow cake mix
1/2 - cup butter, melted
1/2 - teaspoon vanilla
2 - eggs, beaten
1 - cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the dry cake mix, butter, vanilla, and eggs until smooth and well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto a un greased baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. If not they will fall apart.
Cook's Note: I don't think I would substitute applesauce in place of butter or oil because I think this would change the taste of the cookie.
To Make Cookie Bars: Increase the chocolate chips to 1 1/2 cups. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with baking spray. Add the cookie dough and spread with a spatula or use your hands. The cookie dough will be a bit thick, so spray your hands with baking spray first. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. If you want to be naughty once sliced top the bars with vanilla ice cream and serve,
