Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 ounces) Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cups (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, sprinkles, or 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 yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly glossy. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
