Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Add-ins
- 1 cup for large add-ins (e.g., baking chips or candies)
- ½ cup for smaller add-ins (e.g., sprinkles or finely chopped nuts)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat the mixture thoroughly until it is fully blended. Then stir in your chosen add-ins like sprinkles, nuts, or baking chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Portion the Dough: Using a portion scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave about an inch of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes. Watch for slight golden edges as a sign that the cookies are done. Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent the cookies from merging.
- Customize the cookies with your favorite add-ins to personalize flavor and texture.
- Allow cookies to cool completely for best texture and handling.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, bake a couple minutes longer, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
