Notes

Easy variations for these fudgy chocolate cookies

Depending on personal preference you can add a little less oil to the dry cake mix to get your cookies to be a bit thicker. When I made these the first time everyone loved them thin, but I enjoy the rich chocolate flavor from the thicker cookies a bit more so I use ⅓ cup oil instead of ½ cup. Regardless of what you go with this delicious recipe will be perfect for all chocolate lovers.
