Ladies, a little warning that this recipe is UNHEALTHY and SINFUL. It is a far cry from my healthy concoctions that I normally throw together as these cookies use a tremendous amount of butter, sugar, and chocolate. But life is too short. So let’s celebrate and eat some damn COOKIES!
This recipe comes from my best friend from Eugene, Miss Julie. Julie is one of those cooks that can make anything taste delicious. Her cookies are famous (especially in my family) in Eugene. They are the perfect treat to bring to a neighbor, a birthday party, work event, or an after school/work treat for family members. THESE ARE FLIPPING DELICIOUS and no one will ever turn them down.
Ingredients
Holy Heavens! Chocolate, butter, cake mix, brown sugar. SUGAR RUSH!
* 1 cup butter
* ½ cup brown sugar
* 1 egg
* ¼ cup water
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1 box cake mix, divided
* 2 cups oatmeal
* 1 cup (or more) chocolate chips
Directions
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees
* Cream butter and sugar
Butter and sugar together looks so delicious. But I will not eat it by the spoon, because it actually is PURE butter.
* Add egg, water, vanilla and ½ of the cake mix. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth
My guns sure are getting bigger since I am making cookies without an electric blender.
* Stir in remainder of cake mix, oatmeal, and chocolate chips
You can add any type of chocolate chips/chunks to this dough. This time around, I used milk chocolate chips.
Best. Cookie. Dough. Ever. EVA. EVA. EVA.
* Place tablespoon-sized balls of dough 2” apart on cookie sheet
I made them bite-size so that when a certain little boy, or a certain post-pregnant lady decided that they were hungry for cookies, they would nibble and snack on a couple of small cookies instead of 1 HUGE cookie. Because 2 small cookies have fewer calories than 1 normal size cookie, RIGHT?
* Bake about 8-10 minutes until just done. Don’t overbake. Once again, do not overbake. I know that 8 minutes seems like a short time, but I cannot stress this enough. 8 minutes is the perfect amount of time to make these cookies soft, chewy and scrumptious. They may not look quite done, but they will finish baking on the cookie sheet.
* Cool for at least 5-10 minutes and transfer to wire rack.
COOKIES!!!!!!!!!
Cookies cooling on a wire rack. So good that you will eat half of them before they are off the rack.
* They are definitely best eaten the same day as they do not keep well. The dough keeps in the fridge for a couple of days or freezer so you always have dessert on hand. Perfect for hoarders like me. Half of this batch was placed into tupperware and into the fridge for a later day.
* You can use any flavor of cake mix, though obviously chocolate (milk, German, etc.) is best.
* For those who want to make this somewhat healthy, you can also add grated carrot, coconut, a small amount of pineapple, wheat germ and/or ground flax. Doing so, would have been much more my style, but I thought GO BIG OR GO HOME.
* You can replace part of the oatmeal with any crunchy cereal (Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, granola, etc). Nothing better sounding than Raisin Bran in chocolate cake mix cookies.
When Cruzzie tasted the cookie for the first time (because these are not the typical cookies in our household, obvi), he said "Mama best cookie." I swear. He is that cute. But please, no mocking his awesome bowl cut haircut. It was the worst day of my life and I couldn't tell the hair-cut lady that her skills sucked and he looked like he was from 1984.
Have a great weekend! Make these cookies for your weekend BBQ, just DO IT.
