Cake Mix Fudge Cookies – fudge chocolate cookies filled with chocolate chips and walnuts! And they’re so easy because they start with a boxed cake mix.
I cleaned out my pantry the other day (because my real resolution for this year is to declutter) and realized I have a ton of cake mixes. It’s become the “just in case” thing I buy every time I’m at the store because I can never remember if I have white, yellow, chocolate, funfetti, etc. at home. I have somehow collected 15 cake mixes in the 9 months we’ve lived here.
No frosting. Just cake mixes.
Really, Amanda?
So one of my favorite things to do with cake mix is to make cookies. It has to be the easiest way to make cookies! You just need the cake mix, eggs, and oil! Plus whatever you want to mix in!
For this version, I started with a devil’s food cake mix for a rich chocolate cookie and then mixed in chocolate chips and walnuts, like classic fudge.
They are so soft and so delicious! Chocolate cookies are usually my last choice but man, these are good.
How To Make Cake Mix Fudge Cookies
- Beat together cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts
- Roll heaping tablespoonfuls into balls and place onto prepared baking sheet
- Bake 10 – 11 minutes

How Long Are Cake Mix Cookies Good For?
Cake mix cookies will be good up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature (like on the kitchen counter).

Could you substitute brownie mix for cake mix?
