Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box cake mix
  • 1/2 scant cup vegetable oil (or 7 tablespoons melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs. Stir until the dough is well blended. For best results, refrigerate the dough for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce stickiness and make it easier to handle.
  3. Scoop and Bake: Using a medium-sized scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, add your favorite toppings to each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
  4. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, store the cookies in a covered container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the dough helps with handling but is not mandatory.
  • Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • You can customize the cookies with toppings such as chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
