Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix and eggs until a thick dough forms.Fold in any optional ingredients such as chocolate chips or vanilla extract.Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking.
For bakery-style flavor, add 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Do not overbake. The centers should still look slightly soft when removed from the oven.
For crinkle cookies, roll dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
