Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (15.25 oz)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Add-ins
- 1 cup large add-ins (such as baking chips or candies)
- ½ cup smaller add-ins (such as sprinkles or finely chopped nuts)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat the mixture well until fully combined and smooth. Stir in your chosen add-ins like sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion Dough: Using a portion scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to space them about an inch apart to allow the cookies room to spread while baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest for 2-3 minutes on the sheet. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Feel free to customize with any mix-ins you like, from nuts and sprinkles to chocolate chips or small candies.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy instead of hard and crisp.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze the dough balls for later baking; simply thaw slightly before baking.
