Our Back-to-School Cookies make the perfect lunchbox treat or after-school snack. These easy-to-make cookies start out from a box of cake mix and get their extra-crunchiness from graham crackers and their chocolaty-sweetness from lots of chocolate chips. Kids of all ages will love them!
What You'll Need
- 1 (15.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 10 graham cracker squares, coarsely crushed
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cake mix, oil, brown sugar, and eggs. Stir in cracker crumbs and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden around edges; remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
These homemade cookies freeze really well, so go ahead and make an extra batch to keep on hand.

I was wondering if the 10 graham cracker squares is a literal amount or if you meant ten full crackers (which are actually rectangular).

Hello! 10 square graham crackers will equal 5 full rectangular graham crackers. Hope this helps!

Oh, these are so good. We mixed it up a bit and used semi sweet/ milk choc chips ( I only had a little of each).. What a treat.. bite size yummies are what the kiddos called them. With the added graham crackers that just tops it all off.. next time I make these I will put choc chips/ butterscotch chips and see what they think.. I stored them in an air tight container and they stayed soft. The only thing I found was hard was the sticky dough..It was ike paste.. but after I added the choc chips/ g. cracker it was a lot easier to work with.
