Equipment

Baking Sheets
Parchment paper
Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

1 (15.25-ounce/432g) box cake mix
½ cup vegetable oil*
2 large eggs
½ to 1 cup mix-ins optional (chocolate chips, sprinkles, M&Ms)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs, and stir until well combined. Add mix-ins if using.
Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoons-sized balls and place on the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake each sheet for 10 to 12 minutes or until the centers appear dry. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely.

Notes

Use any flavor of cake mix you’d like! Strawberry, lemon, chocolate or Devil’s food, red velvet, vanilla, and spice cake mixes all make great cookies and taste great with a variety of mix-ins.
If you’re using a confetti or sprinkle cake mix, reduce the oil to ⅓ cup. Those mixes spread a bit more, and less oil will create a fluffier, thicker cookie.
Let the eggs come to room temperature before making the dough. It’ll make them easier to mix into the cake mix without overmixing, helping you achieve the perfect tender crumbed interior.
Use a cookie scoop to achieve perfectly sized cookies. Take things a step further and round off the edges using a large biscuit cutter. Place the cutter around the cookie while it’s still warm, then make a swirling motion. Voila! Bakery-level treats with zero fuss.
