These chewy and delightful cookies are made with a cake mix base, making them quick and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until a smooth dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
Allowing the cookies to cool slightly on the sheet helps them set.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Cooling on a rack prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
