Double Chocolate - Chocolate Chip Cookies

This cookie recipe is so easy to make and eat. The trick is that the recipe uses a package of cake mix. I recently made these cookies for Lorelei's and Patrick's eighth grade graduation party. The cookies were a hit. Because they are so easy to eat, they slowly disappeared during the party and not many were left at the end.

I made these cookies on the small side because I like having small cookies that are easy to grab and eat. Jenny mentioned that she recently came across a similar recipe that used these cookies to make ice cream sandwiches. These cookies would make excellent ice cream sandwiches, but you might want to make larger cookies for such use. When I made these cookies, I left out the walnuts because not everyone likes nuts in cookies.
