Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Chocolate cake mix (13.25 oz)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (+1/4 cup for topping)
- 3/4 cup marshmallow bits (+1/4 cup for topping) – not mini marshmallows
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Fold in add-ins: Stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookies: Measure out 1 tablespoon of dough (we like to use a cookie scoop) and roll into balls. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to spread.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 8–10 minutes.
- Add toppings: While the cookies are still warm, gently press additional chocolate chips and marshmallow bits on top for a festive look. (Be careful not to burn yourself.)
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter or storage container. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Marshmallow tips: Use marshmallow bits, not mini marshmallows, as they hold their shape better during baking. Mini marshmallows will melt in the oven, but can added to the tops after baking.
- Toppings: Adding extra chocolate chips and marshmallow bits on top while the cookies are warm makes them look extra festive.
- Variations: Mix in white chocolate chips or crushed peppermint.
