Cake mix cookies are some of the best and easiest cookies to make. I'm all about easy as I am a teacher and when the end of the school year comes I have little time and even less energy. Once you have the basic idea down you can add just about anything you would add to normal cookies.
The ingredient list:
- 1 cake mix-any variety you have in your pantry
- 2 eggs
-1/4 cup oil
Yep, that's right, three ingredients! Mix until all ingredients are combined and bake at 350 degrees for about ten minutes. The time will vary depending on size and type of mix. I tend to keep the cookies small (1 tbs. dough ball) because I like my cookies to bake quickly. The faster they bake the faster we can eat them. I also use a ice cream scoop of a 1 tbs. to make forming dough balls quick and easy. Did I mention these are supposed to be easy?
Here are some ideas for variations:
How about adding some white chocolate chips to a chocolate cake mix?
Or nuts to a carrot cake mix? You could even glaze these with a cream cheese frosting!
The ones I made below are a lemon cake mix with coconut flakes added in.
If you have any great ideas for mix-ins leave them in the comments below.
