How to Make the Recipe
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help ensure your cookies don’t stick and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a spoon or electric mixer to blend everything until the batter is smooth and well combined. The beauty of using cake mix is that the dough comes together quickly with minimal effort.
If you want to make your cookies extra special, fold in a cup of chocolate chips or any other mix-ins like M&Ms, nuts, or dried fruit. This step adds texture and flavor to your cookies, making them customizable to your preferences.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. The dough should be soft and sticky, so it’s easier to handle with a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake them, as cake mix cookies are meant to stay soft and chewy in the center. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cookies with a glass of milk or share them with friends and family. These cake mix cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual snack or a sweet treat at a party.
