Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of cake mix, the two eggs, and the vegetable oil.
- Mix with an electric mixer or by hand until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier cookie, use melted butter instead of oil.
- Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or sprinkles to the dough before scooping for flavor variations.
- If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
