Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow or vanilla cake mix
- 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, quick-cooking oats, and brown sugar, stirring until evenly blended.
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop until fully liquefied, then let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until a thick cookie dough forms.
If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your cake mix oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage and enjoy!
