The Story:
Harry Potter week has begun.
I am not a big Potter fan, but some of my friends are. So the Hogwarts spirit has surely influenced my week. The new movie comes out on Thursday, so of course we have to watch all of the other Harry Potter movies leading up to the new one, right? Right.
So after deep cleaning my entire place, I needed a quick treat to take over to the movie. I still feel like I’m drowning in yellow cake mix and I knew I wanted to make cookies, but I just wasn’t in the mood for a true cake mix cookie that is a mile high. So to combat the fluffiness, I added some brown sugar.
The cookies were quick to throw together and I headed out the door with a huge plate of them just in time to catch the start of the movie.

Made these today, and they are unbelievably SOFT! A replacement for my old chocolate chip recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
Making these now and I am SUPER excited!!!
I made these for work yesterday to take to work today. I guess they were pretty darn good… cause half were missing when I went to take the plate to work…. The lucky ones at work LOVED them.
I will be making this recipe TONIGHT!!! how many cookies came out of this recipe and what size is the spoon you use to drop them in the tray? they look easy and fast and like everything else on your collection DELISH!!!!!
I believe I got about 20 cookies out of them. I use dough balls about the size of a golf ball, or a little smaller. Sometimes I like to do a Small first batch in the oven and see how they rise, every oven is different. Good luck!
LIZZZZZZZZZYYYY!!!! WOW, I made the cookies and they are just OUTSTANDING!!! I add a teaspoon of cinnamon, I also made a chocolate version. Instead yellow cake I used chocolate fudge cake mix, no brown sugar and white chocolate chips…WOWOWOWOWOW!! Thanks for the recipe, and yes you was right EXACTLY 20 cookies using the mini ice cream scoop. Thanks again!
so easy to do and they are fantastic. I too have a new fav chocolate chip cookie here. Can’t wait to try it like Fatima mentioned with the chocolate mix. thanks so much!
Burberry Coat makes me look taller and elegant. It is worth this price.
Has anyone tried this as cookie bars?
I love your blog….. I love all the recipes I have tried and plan on getting ur book soon ….. Thanks for sharing your love of sweets with us ….
My husband has been bugging me for the last two years to make my chocolate chip cookies chewier and gooier. I have tried countless different recipes and alterations to the original chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of a semi-sweet morsels bag, but nothing has worked till I tried this recipe. Thank you Lizzy for FINALLY helping me find a recipe that has my husband gobbling up all the cookies within 48hours. I will never have any complaints about my chocolate chip cookies ever again!
Oh YAY! Love helping to find the perfect cookie recipe and this one is SO easy!
Do you use 18,25 size cakemixes, or the one in the store now?
For the past year I have used the new sizes, they both work pretty much the same actually. But with the newer sizes I usually add a little less liquid.
Made these and my teens love them. Thank you.
I just found and tried this recipe, with my twist……
Didn’t have a yellow cake mix, so I used French Vanilla, added a packed or vanilla instant pudding, , a couple of tablespoons of water and yummmmmm…..I used the “drop” method… dropped the dough a teaspoon and got 32 cookies.
