Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box box of cake mix (any flavor you prefer, such as vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet) For a gluten-free version, opt for gluten-free cake mix.
- 2 large large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can substitute with melted coconut oil for a healthier option.
- 1 cup chocolate chips Can also use any mix-ins like nuts or sprinkles.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional, but enhances flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the ingredients meld into a thick, slightly sticky dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or your chosen mix-ins) with a spatula.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed as an occasional treat. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an elevated experience. To keep cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
