Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
A very simple recipe to prepare eggless chewy chocolate chip cookies using store bought cake mix.
Ingredients
- 18.25 oz German Chocolate Cake mix I used 1 package Duncan Hines
- ½ cup Silken tofu pureed ¼ cup for each egg to be replaced
- ½ cup Melted Butter 1 stick
- ½ cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips 1 cup
- ½ cup Raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a saucepan on stove top or in the microwave oven.
- Remove the tofu from the packet and blend it in a blender until smooth. Pour it in a liquid measuring cup to measure ½ cup of pureed tofu.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, butter, oats; mix well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and raisins.
- The dough is has the consistency of chapathi dough or play dough.
- Grease a tablespoon and drop the dough using it 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set.
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.
- Cool it completely on the wire rack before storing it.
Notes
- Raisins can be replaced with chocolate chips as well. But the combination of raisins with the chocolate chips is very good.
- Instead of dropping the dough on the baking sheet, you can also roll it in your hand to get perfectly shaped cookies.
- I baked my cookies for 11 minutes. If using a non stick baking sheet, 10 minutes is enough. The cookies look under-cooked, but they cook on the baking sheet itself once outside the oven. So don't be tempted to put them back in the oven. After 5 minutes transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack.
- The cookies actually don't have a golden brown color. It's more of a dull cocoa powder color.
- Some cake/brownie mixes have animal fat like lard. Be sure to read the ingredients list before buying.
