Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
Optional
- Mix-ins of choice (chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, etc.)
- Frosting of choice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350° F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat to prepare for baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil until the batter is smooth and well blended. If you want to add mix-ins, fold them gently into the dough now.
- Scoop Dough: Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoons to drop 2-tablespoon portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges become slightly golden, indicating they are cooked through but still soft inside.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 4 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely for best texture.
- Optional Frosting: If desired, once the cookies have cooled fully, spread your favorite frosting on top before serving.
Notes
- Soft and fluffy cookies are easily achieved by using your favorite box cake mix as the base.
- Feel free to customize these cookies by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles to the dough.
- Cooling cookies completely before frosting ensures that the frosting doesn’t melt.
