Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are well incorporated, forming a thick dough.
If using, gently fold in the optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Flatten the tops slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your cake mix cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
