If you're craving something sweet and need something to make in a pinch, then look no further. With just four simple ingredients you can have a batch of cookies in 10 minutes.

Today we’re preparing a batch of blissfully simple ‘cake mix cookies.’ I’m going to admit that I hesitated before posting this recipe for the simple sake of just ‘how’ simple it really is, but then I figured 'why not,' and so here they are.

Why You’ll Love Today’s Cookies

Name: Double Fudge Cake Mix Cookies
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 1 box your preferred chocolate cake mix (I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge); 1/3 cup vegetable oil; 2 eggs; 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1) Crazy Easy. This recipe couldn’t be simpler. Literally just mix together three ingredients, bake them in the oven, and you’re done. It really is just that simple.

2) Decadent. These cookies are fudgy, chocolatey, super moist, and satisfying, making them a great option for sating that late night or afternoon sweet tooth.

3) Top It. Have whipped cream on hand? Simply dollop that onto the cookie, top with some sliced fruit and chocolate syrupy, and you’ve got…I’m actually not sure what you’ve got, but it’s damn delicious.

4) As a Topping. Crumble these up and top them on ice cream or mix them into pudding, and really, what more could one want?

Notes and Tips

1) The Cake Mix. Fudge or Super Moist works best. You want texture, you want moisture, and you want ‘body’ for the cookies.

2) No Substitutions. Don’t try to give these the ‘guilt free’ treatment. Seriously, these cookies aren’t unabashedly ‘guilty’ and ‘decadent’ by design. Then again, if you do, let me know in the comments below how they turned out. I’d love to hear from you.

Other Super Simple Desserts

1) Blueberry Shortbread Brownies. Blueberry brownies set over a moist homemade shortbread, these are one of my favorite indulgences.

2) Rice Krispies Brownie Smores. Imagine a basic rice crispies treat recipe, now sandwich it between a fudgy brown and a smore…that’s what this is. And it’s as delicious as it sounds.

3) Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are probably the most popular cookies I’ve ever posted to Living the Gourmet. Delightfully chewy, decadently moist, and cutting no corners on ‘guilty’ ingredients, try these – trust me.
