TIPS FOR MAKING CAKE MIX COOKIES

• Ignore the directions and extra ingredients that you normally would follow from the back of the cake mix.
• Instead, follow the directions listed the particular recipe you want to make.
• Do not over-mix the batter.
• If the batter is too soft, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before placing on baking trays.

• Parchment Baking Sheets

Basic Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

Each of these four cake mix cookie recipes are so simple to make. Here are the basic ingredients for them:

• 1 box cake mix
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat together the dry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs.
• Depending on which cookie you are making, stir in the add-ins. (SEE LIST BELOW)
• Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop scoops of dough on the prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart.
• Bake about 10-12 minutes, or until set in the middle.
• Cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or until just slightly warm.

Baking Tip: It's always best to refrigerate the dough as it's easier to work with chilled dough. Cake mix cookies tend to be a little stickier than traditional cookie dough because of the added oil.
