When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Slowly add the dry cookie mix to the wet mixture. Stir until combined and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
