Units
Scale
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor, 15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix the cookie dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
3. Roll the cookies:
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball generously in powdered sugar, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake the cookies:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have formed beautiful cracks.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use different flavors of cake mix, like chocolate, lemon, or red velvet, for variety.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts for an extra twist.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze the dough balls to bake fresh cookies later.
