Cake Mix Cookies
Description
This recipe leverages a store-bought cake mix as the base, which is mixed with eggs and oil to create a cookie dough that bakes into moist, tender cookies. The cake mix foundation provides flavor and structure, while adding eggs and oil ensures an appropriate cookie texture. Incorporating optional mix-ins such as baking chips, chopped candies, or nuts introduces variety.
The dough is portioned onto parchment-lined baking sheets with enough space for spreading and baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the edges begin to turn golden, signaling doneness. After resting briefly, the cookies are transferred to cooling racks to set.
This straightforward approach yields cookies that carry the flavor of the chosen cake mix but with a chewy, cookie-like texture. It's a convenient way to create cookies quickly without measuring multiple ingredients.

Ingredients
- 1 cake mix 15.25 oz, box
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup vegetable

- 1 cup for large add-ins like baking chips or candies

Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Beat until well combined. Stir in sprinkles, nuts, or chips as desired, until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a portion scoop, or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave about an inch between cookies, to allow for spread.
