Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 1 cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
Optional Additions
- Mix-ins of choice (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)
- Frosting of choice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a Silpat liner to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil thoroughly until the batter is well blended and smooth. If desired, gently fold in your choice of mix-ins to add texture and flavor.
- Form Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie and place them on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden, indicating they are done but still soft inside.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Frosting: If you want to add frosting, wait until the cookies have completely cooled before spreading your favorite frosting on top.
Notes
- Soft, fluffy cookies are easy to make using your favorite boxed cake mix.
- Feel free to customize with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or candies to suit your taste.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent cookies from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
