What You Need To Make This Recipe
Boxed cake mix — you’re welcome to use any flavor of cake mix you have on hand. Chocolate, lemon, vanilla, Funfetti, strawberry, red velvet, you name it! You can also use any brand of cake mix you prefer, like Betty Crocker, or even store-brand cake mixes will work well. Vegetable oil — any other neutral oil will also work, including avocado, canola, or grapeseed. Eggs — I use large eggs in my recipes unless otherwise specified. Mix-ins – these are totally optional but are an easy way to customize these supremely easy cookies. Try regular or white chocolate chips, sprinkles, M&Ms, nuts, sprinkles, or dried fruit!
How To Make Cake Mix Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the dry cake mix & oil.
- Add the eggs and stir until well combined.
- Add mix-ins if using.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls, and place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake each sheet for 10 to 12 minutes or until the centers appear dry. Cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely.
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
Use any flavor of cake mix you’d like! Strawberry, lemon, chocolate or Devil’s food, red velvet, vanilla, and spice cake mixes all make great cookies and taste great with a variety of mix-ins. If you’re using a confetti or sprinkle cake mix, reduce the oil to ⅓ cup. Those mixes spread a bit more, and less oil will create a fluffier, thicker cookie. Let the eggs come to room temperature before making the dough. It’ll make them easier to mix into the cake mix without overmixing, helping you achieve the perfect tender crumbed interior. Use a cookie scoop to achieve perfectly sized cookies. Take things a step further and round off the edges using a large biscuit cutter. Place the cutter around the cookie while it’s still warm, then make a swirling motion. Voila! Bakery-level treats with zero fuss.
