Box Cake Mix Cookies

These might feel a little like cheating, but since we don't all have the same 24 hours in a day, sometimes we need a quick option. These cookies only need a box of cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. I cannot stress just how easy these are. Perfect if you have a box of cake mix sitting around in the pantry, or maybe you have surprise guests and want to serve something sweet super quickly. This is the recipe.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 oz Box Cake Mix (1 Standard Box) See Notes below for varieties
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Line two large baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and oil and stir to combine.
  3. If you have time, place the cookie dough in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes. If you want to bake them straight away, jump straight to the next step.
  4. Scoop large tablespoon size balls of dough onto the baking sheets, a few inches apart.
  5. Bake 15-20 minutes, until the edges look crisp. Let chill on a wire rack.
