Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow or spice cake mix (15.25 oz box)
- 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup Raisins
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, quick-cooking oats, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until well blended.
Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the raisins using a spatula or spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your chewy and flavorful oatmeal raisin cake mix cookies with a glass of cold milk or a mug of hot tea!
