Oil: Use ¼ cup of vegetable oil to add fats needed to keep the cookies moist while baking.

Eggs: Add 2 eggs to the dough to give the cookies great texture and help bind the ingredients together.

Chocolate nuggets: You need 18 foil-wrapped chocolate nuggets to stuff into each cookie dough ball.

White chocolate chips: Using 2 TBSP of white chocolate chips adds an amazing chocolatey layer that does not disappoint.

Chocolate chips: For more smooth chocolate taste, use 2 TBSP of semi sweet chocolate chips to drizzle over these cookies.

Shortening: Adding 1 tsp of shortening to melt into the chocolate chips creates a smooth and creamy topping.

How to make Chocolate Stuffed Cookies with Cake Mix

Prep

Begin by heating the oven to 350°F and then line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside.

Dough

In a medium size bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs until fully incorporated. Cake mixes come in varying sizes these days. If your cake mix is less than 15.25 oz, add 1 TBSP flour and proceed with the recipe.

Next unwrap the chocolate nuggets and cut each one in half.

Proceed to shape the cookie dough into 1″ balls. Then flatten the dough and wrap around a half chunk of chocolate, making sure the chocolate is fully encased in the dough.

Place each ball on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2″ space between them.

Bake

Now place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Chocolate drizzle

In a small bowl, microwave 1-oz of white chocolate with ½ tsp of shortening for 45 seconds. Let it sit for 1 minute, then gently stir until the chips are melted and smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small baggie and snip the corner off to drizzle over the cookies. Repeat this step with semi-sweet chocolate chips, drizzling it over the white chocolate.

Let the chocolate cool and set, serve and enjoy!

Variations of this Cake Mix Cookie Recipe

There are several ways to customize this chocolate stuffed cake mix cookies recipe to suit your preferences. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies: For a delicious twist on this recipe, try stuffing the cookie dough with peanut butter cups instead of chocolate nuggets. You can also add ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter to the cookie dough for extra flavor. Top the cookies with a drizzle of melted peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Mint Chocolate Cookies: To make mint chocolate cookies, use a box of chocolate cake mix and add 1 tsp of peppermint extract to the dough. Stuff the cookie dough with Andes mints or peppermint patties instead of chocolate nuggets. Top the cookies with a drizzle of melted white chocolate and green food coloring.

Salted Caramel Cookies: For a sweet and salty treat, stuff the cookie dough with soft caramel candies instead of chocolate nuggets. Top the cookies with a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of melted caramel.

What is the measurement in cups for a 15.25-oz box of cake mix?

A 15.25-oz box of dry cake mix is equivalent to approximately 1.75 cups of cake mix. If your cake mix is less than 15.25 oz, add 1 TBSP of flour to the dough to get the desired consistency.

Can I make cookies with just three ingredients using cake mix?

Yes, it is possible to make cookies with just three ingredients using cake mix. Simply mix 1 box of cake mix, 2 eggs, and ½ cup of vegetable oil until well combined. Then, drop spoonful’s of dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

However, to make the chocolate stuffed cake mix cookies, you will need to add additional ingredients such as chocolate nuggets, white chocolate chips, and chocolate chips with shortening to create a smooth and creamy topping.

Can butter be used as a substitute for oil in cake mix cookies?

Yes, butter can be used as a substitute for vegetable oil in cake mix cookies. However, keep in mind that butter has a lower melting point than oil, which can result in flatter and crispier cookies. To achieve the best results, it is recommended to use a combination of butter and oil or to use a butter-flavored oil.
