Cake Mix Cookies

I’ve included some videos I found relevant and helpful. 😍

Cake mix cookies are a quick and easy treat you can whip up in no time. With just a box of cake mix, eggs, and oil, you can make yummy cookies in any flavor. These 3-ingredient cookies take only 8-12 minutes to bake and are perfect for last-minute desserts or snacks.

You can get creative by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or candy pieces. The options are endless! Just scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, pop them in the oven, and you’ll have warm, gooey cookies in minutes. Let them cool a bit before eating so you don’t burn your tongue on the melty goodness inside.

Exact Ingredients List

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these yummy cake mix cookies:

• 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) cake mix, any flavor you like
• 2 large eggs (about 100 g)
• 1/2 cup (100 g) vegetable oil

That’s it for the basic recipe! But you can get creative with mix-ins if you want. Try adding:

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup M&Ms or other small candies
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Feel free to swap the oil for the same amount of melted butter if you prefer. This can give the cookies a richer flavor.

Remember, you can use any flavor of cake mix. Chocolate, vanilla, lemon – pick your favorite! Each box of mix will make about 2 dozen cookies.

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grab a large mixing bowl and add the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix these ingredients well until you have a smooth batter.

If you want to add some extra flavor, now’s the time! Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or candies if you like.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the sheet. Leave some space between each cookie.

Pop the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them – they’re done when the edges are lightly golden.

Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the pan. Give them about 5 minutes before you move them. This helps them set properly.

After cooling, you can transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Or just eat them right away if you can’t wait! They’re great warm or cooled completely.

Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations

You can easily change up these cake mix cookies to suit your taste. Try swapping the vegetable oil for melted butter. This gives the cookies a richer flavor.

For the cake mix, any flavor works great. Use chocolate, vanilla, lemon, or even funfetti mix. The options are endless!

Mix-ins are a fun way to add variety. Here are some tasty ideas:

• Chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
• Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds)
• M&Ms or other small candies
• Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots)

You can also add spices to the batter. A teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice works well with yellow or spice cake mixes.

For a festive touch, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking. This creates a crinkle cookie effect.

Try pressing a Hershey’s Kiss into each cookie right after baking. This makes them extra special.

Remember, you can double or triple the recipe easily. Just use the 2x or 3x amounts listed in the ingredients.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Use any cake mix flavor you like. Try chocolate, vanilla, or lemon for yummy cookies. You can add fun mix-ins too. M&Ms, chocolate chips, or nuts are great choices.

Don’t overmix the dough. Stir just until everything is combined. This keeps your cookies soft and chewy.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent your cookies from spreading too much.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to make even-sized cookies. They’ll bake more evenly this way.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This stops them from breaking.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh at room temperature for 3-5 days.

You can freeze the dough or baked cookies. Wrap them well and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen dough before baking.

To make your cookies extra pretty, press a few extra mix-ins on top before baking.
