Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, and oil until a soft dough forms. Drop dollops onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
