Get prepped

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat).

Mix the dough

In a large bowl, combine 15.25 oz package devil's food cake mix, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until smooth and well mixed. Stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Shape the cookies

Roll the dough into balls (about 1-1.5 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten (optional)

If desired, press each cookie ball lightly with a fork to flatten slightly.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are set around the edges.
