Cake Mix Cookies
Turn your favorite cake mix into a quick and easy recipe with these Cake Mix Cookies. With only 3 ingredients, these cookies are easy to make and taste great.
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz cake mix any flavor, see note 1 below for directions to make with another size.
- 6 Tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup chocolate chips, sprinkles and more see note 2 below
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the cake mix and use a spatula and mix until combined.
- Spoon dough balls onto the parchment lined baking sheet. I prefer to roll them into balls using my hands (see note 3 for tips), but you can use a cookie scoop if you like instead. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the tops are set and the edges are matte, plus an additional minute afterwards (see note 4). Allow to cool on the baking sheet at least 5 minutes. Remove and enjoy!

Notes
- I tested Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, grocery store budget brand and Betty Crocker. The best were Duncan Hines and Pillsbury, and the worst was Betty Crocker. After a lot of failed attempts I figured out Betty Crocker are best if you mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into the cake mix mixture, then use 2 eggs and 5 Tablespoons oil. The Betty Crocker box is smaller in size than all the rest (13.25 oz instead of 15.25 oz) so it needs less oil.
- Try adding in a half cup of your favorite baking chips, sprinkles, mini rolos and more to the dough. See the "variations" section in the post above for more fun ideas.
- If you choose to roll the dough into balls using your hands and they get too sticky, try dampening your hands slightly.
- Usually I say as soon as the tops are set and the edges are matte on cookies, get them out of the oven, but these are not done at that point and will be gooey. To make sure they are fully done, after the tops are matte and edges set they should puff up pretty big and start to crinkle (around a minute or 2 later). Then they are done.
