How to Make Cake Mix Cookies

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with the melted butter and the egg. Stir everything together until the dough forms into a thick, sticky consistency. This is the magic of cake mix cookies—no need for flour or complicated steps!

If you want to add a fun twist, you can fold in some chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts. The choice is yours—be creative! Once your dough is ready, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can bake quickly. Once done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are incredibly easy to make, and they taste just as amazing as cookies that require a lot more time and effort. Plus, you can experiment with different cake mixes and mix-ins to create your perfect cookie!
