The taste of these cookies is out of this world! And the chocolate chips give them an extra pop of sweetness.
These are a combo of your favorite oatmeal cookies and spice cake in one flavorful dessert. They make a tasty after-dinner treat and are a great party food idea.
Ingredients
The spice cake mix provides the base flavor (and it’s so FLAVORFUL thanks to the cinnamon, etc!) while the oil and eggs help bind everything together.
Quick oats give these cookies a great texture while chocolate chips offer bursts of sweetness. I prefer to use semi-sweet chocolate chips but you can use milk chocolate or a combination if you’d like.
Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, oil, and eggs until a soft dough forms.
Add oats and chocolate chips and stir until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack with a cookie spatula to cool completely before storing.
Tips
For chewier cookies, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps to keep them from spreading out and getting too thin. *But I usually skip this step because I’m too impatient…
This spice cake mix oatmeal cookie recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on the number of cookies needed.
To make these cookies look decadent, add a few extra chocolate chips to the batter ball before baking! (I forgot to do that for this recipe).
Ways to Make the Recipe Your Own
- Swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, nuts, or raisins or do a mix of a few of these!
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the cookies before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
- Or sprinkle on chunky sea salt for a slight crunch and burst of flavor. I do this on all of my cookies. It’s the perfect sweet/salty touch!
- Add in 1/4 cup shredded coconut or 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit for added texture.
