Additionally, these cookies are perfect for any occasion. Whether it's a birthday, holiday gathering, or simply a cozy night in, they make an excellent treat. You can even package them up as gifts for friends and family. Just remember to keep some for yourself, as they’re bound to disappear quickly!

Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips if using.

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your Cake Mix Oreo Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week, though they are usually devoured much sooner! If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just place the cookies in a zip-top freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be frozen for up to three months, and you can enjoy them by letting them thaw at room temperature.

For an added touch, you can gently reheat the cookies in the microwave for a few seconds before serving. This will bring back their soft, chewy texture and warm chocolatey flavor, making them taste freshly baked each time!

Perfect Pairings

These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk, which helps to balance their sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor. For a fun twist, try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful cookie sandwich. The combination of warm cookies and cold ice cream is irresistible and makes for a perfect dessert to impress your guests.

If you're feeling adventurous, consider pairing these cookies with a cup of coffee or espresso. The rich flavors of the cookies complement the bitterness of coffee, creating a delightful contrast that many coffee lovers will appreciate. It’s a simple yet effective way to elevate your dessert experience.
