Ingredients
- 15 oz yellow cake mix see notes for best brand
- 2 eggs large
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup Chocolate Chip Cookies see notes for other toppings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Add cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl. Then, using a spatula, stand mixer (paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, combine well. Note that the cookie dough will be quite thick.
- Then, fold in your chocolate chip cookies (or other toppings).
- Use a cookie scoop (or tablespoon) to measure and place cookies on a baking sheet, evenly spaced, with at least 1-2 inches between the cookies. This is important since the cookies will spread out when they bake. P.S., I've linked my favorite cookie scoop and it's literally never failed me!
- Bake for ~9 minutes until they're brown. You want the cookies to look slightly underdone in order to get the perfect, fluffy cookie consistency. If you like your cookies more crisp, bake for an extra minute.
- Serve hot!

Notes
- Best brand of cake mix: I tested four different brands of yellow cake mix to determine which one made the best cookies. Duncan Hines was my favorite!
- Make this vegan: The cake mixes I tested were all vegan, so if you want to make this recipe vegan, you can replace the eggs with an egg replacer (e.g., flax egg or Just Egg) and you're off to the races.
- Toppings: You can customize this cookie so easily! The two most popular options are to add chocolate chips or sprinkles. However, I've rounded up a list of fantastic other topping ideas in the post if you want other options.
