    Ingredients For Valentine's Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

    • Boxed chocolate cake mix – Makes the cookies soft and fudgey. You don’t even need flour!
    • Vegetable oil – Helps bind the dough and keeps the cookies moist.
    • Eggs – Gives the cookies structure and lift.
    • Valentine's-themed sprinkles – Add a colorful and festive touch that makes these cookies perfect for February 14th. Any Valentine's mix will do.

    How to Make Valentine's Cake Mix Cookies

    Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grab a large mixing bowl. Pour in the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir everything together with a silicone spoon until you have a smooth dough.

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the cookies set. Once they’re done, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Now they’re ready to enjoy!

    Tips for Making Valentine's Day Cookies

    Tip 1: Be sure not to overbake your cookies. When you pull them out of the oven, they should look slightly soft, but they’ll firm up as they cool.

    Tip 2: If you don’t have Valentine’s sprinkles, you can use mini chocolate chips, red M&Ms, or powdered sugar.

    Tip 3: Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes if it seems too sticky to handle.

    FAQS For Valentine's Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

    Can I use a different flavor of cake mix in Valentine's cookies?

    You can switch up the chocolate cake mix with red velvet or even strawberry cake mix for a unique twist. Follow the same steps to get a whole new flavor profile.

    How do I store these cake mix cookies?

    Store your Valentine's Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 4-5 days.

    If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month in a freezer-safe bag. Separate the layers of cookies with wax paper.

    Ingredients
      

    • 13.25 oz Chocolate cake mix
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 eggs
    • 4 tablespoon Valentine's sprinkles

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs. Stir until a dough forms.
    • Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop and drop it onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Top with sprinkles.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are fully baked.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

    Notes

    • Don’t overbake your cookies! Take them out when they still look a little soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
    • No Valentine’s sprinkles? No problem! Try mini chocolate chips, red M&Ms, or even a dusting of powdered sugar instead.
    • If the dough feels too sticky, just pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
