Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Boxed cake mix
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.33 cup Applesauce
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and applesauce. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended into a smooth dough.
If desired, fold in the optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts.
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten the cookie dough rounds with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they won’t spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
