Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine ingredients. In a large bowl, stir yellow boxed cake mix, 1/2 cup oil, and 2 large eggs until combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips (it is okay if the dough is sticky).
Scoop and bake. Using a medium scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Add extra chocolate chips on top, if desired. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. You don’t want them to brown.
Cool. Let cool several minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.
