I was asked to bring a treat for a church activity. I didn't know what I was going to make that was quick, easy, and most importantly yummy. Then my Mom suggested these cake mix cookies. She asked me what cake mix I wanted to use and I immediately said "Chocolate!" I am a big fan of chocolate. When I saw the recipe I saw that it said chocolate chips with the chocolate cake mix and I thought: Yes! More chocolate! I didn't put nuts in it. I really don't think it needs it. I took the cookie to the activity to share with all my friends. They loved them! They all came back asking for more! So if you are looking for something quick, easy, and super yummy, I recommend these great cookies!

Notes: You can "play" with this recipe and use different flavored cake mixes, baking chips and nuts. You could also add a filling and make cookie sandwiches. Nutella, marshmallow fluff, any flavor of frosting, peanut butter or ice cream or a few fillings you could try. Store ice cream sandwiches in the freezer, or course. :)

| You could turn these cookies into cookie sandwiches. We had some extra vanilla frosting on hand and made these yummy cookie sandwiches. You could also use Nutella, marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, or ice cream. If you turn these cookies into ice cream sandwiches, store extras in the freezer, of course. :) |
