Fudge Walnut Cake-Mix Cookies

By srumbel

Really, it's so easy and the cookies taste great and they look good, which is not something you can say about most cake-mix cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 box 18.25 oz Devil's Food Cake Mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup coconut oil {or butter}
• 1 heaping cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Measure out 1/3 cup of coconut oil and stick it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to melt it. {It mixes better this way.}

Combine cake mix and eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Add melted coconut oil. Mix well. Mixture will be thick, so I used a Kitchenaid to mix it.

Add in chocolate chips and walnuts and stir to combine. {My Kitchenaid was useless for this part, so I hand-stirred the chocolate chips and walnuts in.} Cookie dough will be firm- see picture below.

Use a small cookie scoop to measure out dough and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Once they're done, remove from oven and let them rest for another 3-5 minutes on the hot cookie sheet. Transfer to baking racks to cool completely.

Makes 3 dozen cookies.
