Chocolate Cake Batter Cookies with Almonds


Chewy, fudgy and rich chocolate cookies loaded with Almond crunchy goodness.







The world of easy cookie recipe cant be any better than this. When you have the most easy recipe at your hand which would yield you the better than the best tasting cookies, you just cant be happier. I am a sucker of simple or rather I should confess “Simplest recipes”. Complex and elaborated recipes are for Chefs and Professional not for home bakers. We bake for taste, joy and above all love. Love for baking, love for the products, love for the entire home fill with the great aroma of baking and above all for people who gonna eat our dishes.









I have been a “Crazy Cookie Lady” lately. Whatever spared minutes and seconds I have got from my busy life, I spend it searching, surfing and reading cookie recipes. Chocolate, vanilla, whole wheat, coffee, fruit flavor based, crunchy, chewy or soft..there is no limit of variances. I came across cake batter cookies…Voila!! Well to tell you honestly it was not a new thing to me. Few cakes I made in my teens but more like cookies then cakes but I did not know at that time there could be such a thing like cake batter cookies.





This recipe is dedicated to all the people who think cookie baking is technical, go through the steps and you would be baking these lovely cookies even before you know it.


1 Pack Cake mix (I used Pillsbury’s chocolate cake mix)


½ cup refined oil (Canola, Sunflower anything will work)


1 Cup curd ( or 2 eggs)


1 Teaspoon Baking powder


1 Teaspoon Vanilla exract


1 Cup chopped Almond, take out 1/3 of this for decoration


Preheat oven to 180 °C.


Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well. The mixture not be that wet and will take some efforts to get it all combine. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.


Pour chopped almonds onto a plate.  Form dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll in the almonds.

Line a tray with baking paper and place prepared dough balls on it giving enough space to expand.


Bake 10 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for another 10 -15 minutes after removing from the oven.  

You will not be able to resist these chewy and fudgy chocolaty bits.
