Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Whisk together the eggs and oil in a medium sized mixing bowl. Use a spatula and stir in the cake mix. Form dough balls with your hands (try dampening them if the dough is too sticky) and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes. After the edges have set and the tops turn matte, a minute or 2 later they will puff up more and start to crinkle. That's when you know they are done. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing. Enjoy!!

Notes
I tested this recipe with Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, grocery store brand and Betty Crocker. My favorites were Duncan Hines and Pillsbury. Betty Crocker was my least favorite and came in a 13.25 oz box (most others are standard 15.25oz boxes). After a lot of testing I found that using 5 Tablespoons of oil instead of 6, and adding ½ teaspoon corn starch made them much better.
You can also use a cookie scoop to spoon the batter onto the baking sheet. I recommend using a 1.5 Tablespoon size.
These cookies are so fun to play around with. Try dipping in melting chocolate then topping in festive sprinkles for a holiday (pink and white for Valentines, blue for the 4th of July, green for Christmas). These are also great with ½ cup white chips stirred into them before baking.
