Ingredients:

1 box vanilla cake mix

5 tbsp. butter

2 eggs

1/2 - 3/4 bag chocolate chips

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

 

Directions:

Best with a stand mixer. Mix all ingredients except chips. This makes a very thick, stiff batter. Mix in chips either by hand or using a dough hook on a mixer, being careful not to break up chips. Spray cookie sheet with vegetable oil spray. Scoop batter onto sheet, using a 1.5” scoop. With wet fingers, flatten slightly - make sure you have 3/4” - 1” space between as they will spread some. 350 degrees, about 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit 3 minutes. Remove from pan using spatula, onto rack; let cool completely. 

 

Yield: 28 - 29 cookies. Texture will be cake-like.

 

GUILT FREE VERSION:

Substitute sugar-free (or no sugar added) cake mix and sugar-free chips. Substitute unsweetened applesauce for the butter.
