Cake Mix Cookies

Cake Mix Cookies are one of my favorite dessert hacks because they’re so quick and versatile. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a batch of cookies that are soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. Plus, you can customize them with your favorite mix-ins to create endless flavor combinations.

 Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• Optional: chocolate chips, sprinkles, or other mix-ins

 How to Make Cake Mix Cookies

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and the dough forms.
2. Add Mix-Ins: If you want to add some extra flavor or texture to your cookies, now is the time to fold in your favorite mix-ins. Chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, or even dried fruit all work well.
3. Scoop the Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
4. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as these cookies are best when they’re soft and chewy.
5. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These Cake Mix Cookies are perfect for last-minute gatherings or whenever you need a quick and easy treat.
