Storage Tips for Freshness

To maintain the freshness of your Cake Mix Oreo Cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help preserve their soft texture and prevent them from becoming stale. If you plan to keep them for an extended period, consider freezing the cookies. Place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, separating layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking.

When you're ready to enjoy a cookie, simply take out the desired amount and let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes. You can also microwave them for a few seconds to revive their softness. With these storage tips, you can savor your delicious cookies for days to come.

Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 box chocolate cake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until well combined. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips, if using.

Form the Cookies

Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different flavor of cake mix for these cookies? Absolutely! While chocolate cake mix pairs perfectly with Oreos, you can experiment with other flavors like vanilla or red velvet. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile will change accordingly.

What can I substitute for vegetable oil? If you prefer, you can use melted butter or coconut oil as a substitute for vegetable oil. Both options will lend a rich flavor to your cookies, enhancing the overall taste.

Serving Suggestions

For an extra indulgent treat, consider serving these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of warm cookies and cold ice cream creates a delightful contrast that is hard to resist.

You can also drizzle melted chocolate or a simple glaze over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch. This not only enhances their visual appeal but also adds an additional layer of flavor that chocolate lovers will appreciate.
