    Can you make cookies with pancake mix? Absolutely! These Kodiak Cake Cookies have more protein than your typical cookies, and are made with whole grains. Learn to make my Kodiak Cakes Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, get nutrition info, and so much more. Get tips on making these cookies dense and chewy or thin and crispy, depending on what you prefer!

    kodiak cakes chocolate chip cookies

    We’re making Kodiak pancake mix cookies today, and I am seriously digging them. All I did is take the Original Nestle Toll House Cookie Recipe and replace the white flour and baking soda with Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix.

    Kodiak mixes already have leavening in them, which is why we can skip the baking soda. Keeping this in mind, you can make most of your favorite cookies with Kodiak pancake mix. If Kodiak chocolate chip cookies aren’t your thing, you could make Kodiak oatmeal cookies or Kodiak peanut butter cookies instead.

    The question you might have here is why make a Kodiak Cakes cookie recipe? Are these healthy Kodiak Cakes cookies, or what?

    IMVHO, using my Kodiak cookie mix gives you a cookie that tastes just like one made with all-purpose flour. However, your Kodiak protein cookies will have more protein as well as a bit more fiber from whole grains.

    Here’s a nutritional comparison of using Kodiak mix versus white flour in this chocolate chip cookie recipe. We’re comparing the portion used in each cookie (1/18 of the entire recipe):

    Calories Protein (g) Net Carbs (g) Fiber (g)
    Kodiak Buttermilk
    Power Cakes Mix
    26 1.9 3.5 0.7
    All-Purpose Flour 31 0.8 6.2 0.2

    Are you surprised the differences aren’t that big? More on this later...

    📋 Kodiak Cake Cookies Calories, Net Carbs, Protein

    How many calories in Kodiak Cake cookies? One Kodiak Cakes chocolate chip cookie has 149 calories, 17.2 grams net carbs, and 2.9 grams protein.

    Calories in a homemade chocolate chip cookie may actually be higher than in store bought cookies, such as Chips Ahoy. That’s because your homemade cookie is typically larger in size.

    ⭐ Benefits

    Why should you make this Kodiak Cakes chocolate chip cookie recipe? Here are some reasons to love this snack:

    • Added protein: Kodiak Power Cakes mix contains wheat protein and whey protein, in addition to the flour. Cookies made with Kodiak mix have slightly higher protein density (protein per calorie) than your average cookie.
    • Lower carb: The Kodiak pancake mix we’re using is lower carb than white flour. I have some tips for making low carb Kodiak cookies in the Dietitian Tips section below.
    • Whole grains: You can usually tell by taste when a recipe is using 100% whole grains, you know? The Kodiak Cakes buttermilk mix manages to use a mix of whole wheat flour and oat flour that doesn't have that whole grain taste.
    • Delicious: Cookies are pure comfort food, so let’s love them for what they are without apologizing for it. Taste comes first when we’re talking chocolate chip cookies, and these Kodiak cookies fit the bill. They’re a lovely little snack that may remind you of childhood. (Don’t forget the milk!)

    🥘 Kodiak Cake Cookies Ingredients

    What do you need to make Kodiak Cake cookies? Here's what to get at the store:

    • Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Buttermilk Flapjack & Waffle Mix
    • Butter
    • Sugar
    • Light Brown Sugar
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Large Egg
    • Chocolate Chips
    kodiak cake cookies ingredients

    As always, exact quantities of ingredients are located in the recipe card at the end of the article!

    I chose the Kodiak buttermilk pancake mix in this protein cookie recipe because it is relatively low in added sugar. This mix has only 2 grams of added sugar per 53 grams of mix (half cup). If you use a different Kodiak pancake mix, you may need to cut back on sugar in the recipe.

    Hot tip! Kodiak Cakes recommends refrigerating your boxed pancake mix after opening the box. This will help to keep the whole grains in the mix fresh.

    🍽 Equipment

    Here is the kitchen equipment needed to make Kodiak Cakes cookies:

    • Food Scale
    • Electric Hand Mixer
    • Cookie Scoop
    • Parchment Paper
    • Dark Cookie Sheet

    Also, don’t forget the oven! Haha

    In the U.S., we love to use measuring cups for measuring dry ingredients in baked goods recipes. I highly recommend using a food scale and weighing the dry ingredients instead. This will help you get consistent results with your Kodiak cookies every time.

    If you make cookies more than a few times per year, why not get a cookie scoop? The scoop helps you make uniform cookies for more even baking. (They end up looking nicer too.)

    I used a dark baking sheet here. If your cookie sheet is lighter in color, your baking time may be longer.

    🔪 How to Make Kodiak Cake Cookies

    Let’s make Kodiak Cakes cookies! If you’ve made Tollhouse cookies before, this is going to be easy.

    Put the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a medium-size mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat it until creamy. You don’t want to overmix it- about 2 minutes is a good mixing time.

    Next, add in your egg and Kodiak waffle mix and mix again. After the Kodiak mix is fully incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips.

    Now put the bowl with the Kodiak cookie dough in the fridge and chill for one hour. This helps make the cookies soft and thick.

    When you put warmed cookie dough straight in the oven, the butter melts very quickly and the cookies spread a lot. The result is a cookie that’s thin with crispy edges and a chewy middle (see below). That’s fine if that’s what you want, but most people seem to want a dense chocolate chip cookie.

    chocolate chip cookies kodiak cakes

    At the end of the chilling time, preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Line a metal cookie sheet with parchment paper.

    Put nine scoops of cookie dough (half the dough) on your baking tray. Leave adequate space on the tray between the cookies. You’ll be baking half a batch at a time.

    ️⏲ Cooking Time and Temperature

    Kodiak Cake Cookies bake for 8-11 minutes in oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190C). They take 9-11 minutes on a light cookie sheet, or 8-9 minutes on a dark cookie sheet. The cookie sheet should be on an oven rack about one-third of the way from the top of the oven.

    Here’s the secret to awesome chocolate chip cookies: underbaking. If you want a soft cookie, make sure you take them out of the oven before they look done. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

    Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. If using a dark baking sheet, you’ll want to get them off the sheet as soon as you can.

    I enjoy these cookies served warm or cold. Delish!

    ️🌡️ Leftovers

    Kodiak Cakes cookies can last 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them in a covered container.

    These cookies also freeze beautifully. You can stack them in a freezer-safe container with parchment or freezer paper between the cookies to prevent sticking. Put them back in the fridge when you’re ready to thaw them,

    💭 Expert Tips from a Dietitian

    This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). I’d love to be able to tell you that these are healthy Kodiak Cakes cookies. In truth, these cookies aren’t much more nutritious than classic chocolate chip cookies.

    This cookie recipe is loaded with sugar from table sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. Additionally, these cookies contain a generous amount of added fat in the form of butter. What you end up with is a high calorie, low volume treat.

    Snacks made with Kodiak Cakes may get a health halo because they do contain a little more protein and fiber than usual. However, I wouldn’t eat extra cookies because they are a “healthier” choice.

    Using Kodiak Cakes mix instead of flour only knocks off about 5 calories per cookie, and adds 1 gram of protein. You would actually make a much larger nutritional impact swapping the sugars for Swerve and using sugar free chocolate chips:

    Calories Net Carbs (g)
    Sugar + Brown Sugar + Regular Choc Chips 74 13.7
    Swerve Granular + Swerve Brown + Lily’s Baking Chips 41 1

    (Nutrition information above is for the amount of sugar or sugar substitutes per cookie.)

    Making low carb Kodiak cookies with the swaps above will save you over 30 calories and 13 grams of net carbs per cookie. (Net carbs is total carbohydrates minus fiber and erythritol.) Note that these would not be keto Kodiak cookies, because Kodiak mix is only moderately low in carbs.

    One more tip- I don’t recommend using a lower calorie or light butter in this recipe. These products often contain more air and/or water than regular butter. These attributes can have a negative impact on your finished cookies.

    FAQs

    Can you eat Kodiak Cake mix raw?

    No, you should not eat raw Kodiak Cake mix (and I’m not sure why you’d want to). Kodiak boxed mixes contain raw flour. Eating raw flour can put you at higher risk for food poisoning from E. coli. Additionally, I promise the mix is much tastier cooked, so might as well pop it in the oven, eh?

    Why did my cookies turn into cake?

    There are actually a number of different reasons cookies can turn out cakey. Using eggs that are too large and not weighing the dry ingredients are two things that can lead to cakey cookies. Something that may help prevent cakey cookies is NOT chilling the dough before baking.

    How to make gluten free Kodiak Cakes Cookies?

    Kodiak Cakes Frontier Oat Mix is a gluten free alternative for Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes mix. Experiment with that mix in this recipe to make your Kodiak Cake cookies gluten free.

    How to make Kodiak Cakes Cookies vegan?

    To make vegan Kodiak Cake cookies, use Plant Based Kodiak Cakes mix. For the egg, use whatever egg replacer usually works well for you in chocolate chip cookies. I like this vegan butter and these vegan chocolate chips for vegan baking.

      Hello, I want to make these but with cocoa powder in the dough. How should I adjust the liquids in the recipe? Thank you!

        Hi Joanna, great question! Nestle has a spin on the original Toll House recipe where they added cocoa powder and more brown sugar without adjusting anything else: https://www.verybestbaking.com/toll-house/recipes/double-chocolate-dream-cookies/ For this recipe, I'd try adding 1/4-cup baking cocoa, an additional 2 tablespoons brown sugar, but leave everything else the same. Sounds like a delicious experiment!
