Description:
Indulge in the decadent delight of Betty Crocker’s Double Chocolate Chip Cookies! These treats are not only incredibly delicious but also remarkably easy to make. Originating from a revelation on a box of devil’s food cake mix, this recipe has captured the hearts and taste buds of many. Whether you opt for the nutty addition or prefer them without, these cookies promise to tantalize your senses with every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 ounces) devil’s food cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake to perfection, achieving that ideal balance of crispy edges and soft centers.
-
Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine half of the dry cake mix with the softened butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can mix by hand using a sturdy spoon until well incorporated.
-
Incorporate remaining ingredients: Once the initial ingredients are thoroughly combined, gently stir in the remaining cake mix until fully integrated. If you’ve opted for the nutty variation, now is the time to fold in the chopped nuts along with the irresistible chocolate chips.
-
Form the cookies: Using rounded teaspoons, drop the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, ensuring that each dollop is approximately 2 inches apart. This spacing allows for proper expansion during baking, preventing any unwanted merging of cookies.
-
Bake to perfection: Slide the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven and let them bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep a watchful eye, as the edges should be just set while the centers remain delightfully soft and slightly gooey.
-
Cool and enjoy: Once baked to perfection, allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about a minute. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Exercise patience as they cool, or succumb to temptation and enjoy them warm – either way, they’re sure to be irresistible!
