Servings: 17 large cookies
Calories: 276kcal
Ingredients
Cookie Dough:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box Yellow Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips mini or regular
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
- Large pinch salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment or coating with cooking spray. The cookies spread out quite a bit so it may be necessary to use more than one baking sheet or bake in batches.
- Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla, and Nutella until fully combined.
- Combine: Add cake mix to liquid ingredients and stir with a spatula or spoon until dough is almost fully combined. Add chocolate chips and continue to combine until no cake mix is visible.
- Portion: Form round balls using 2 rounded tablespoons of dough and place 3-4 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 13-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cookies will be done when they are almost fully set on the edges and slightly golden on the bottom.
- Glaze: While the cookies are baking, whisk together all ingredients in a small mixing bowl until fully combined and no lumps remain. Adjust consistency as needed with milk or powdered sugar. Cover and set aside.
- Store: Let cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to let cool completely. Once fully cooled, drizzle with glaze and let harden. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- Using our homemade yellow cake mix will result in cookies that are thinner, crispy on the outside, and doughy in the middle (but include NO additives or preservatives). Using a store-bought mix will create thicker, cake-like cookies with a recognizable “cake mix/batter” flavor.
- Spray the measuring cup for the Nutella with cooking spray for easy release.
- The glaze will set quicker if the cookies are placed in the fridge.
