Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients

1 (15.25-ounce) box cake mix (, I prefer Betty Crocker)
1/2 scant cup vegetable oil (, or 8 TB melted butter)
2 large eggs

Cuisine

American

Steps

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir the cake mix, oil, and eggs until combined. If you have time, refrigerate the dough 15 to 20 minutes (it will make it a little easier to work with, since it is sticky).
Using a medium scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Top with additional toppings, if desired. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. You don’t want them to brown.
Let cool a couple minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in a covered container up to 3 days.

Good but I had to add extra flour (about 1/4 a cup) because the dough was too soft.

I've made this recipe many times and it's great, but wanted to note that cake mix boxes are now 13.25oz. I've found that 7 tbsp of butter plus 1 egg and 1 egg yolk work worth the new cake mix size.

I used white cake mix with white chocolate chips and fruity pebbles as add-ins. I melted white chocolate chips and drizzled on top. My grandson absolutely loved them!

I made these with Dolly Partons coconut cake mix, used coconut oil and dropped top side of the dough in shredded coconut. It's now my family's favorite cookies and I've been asked to bring to events as well. Easy!!
