Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 113 g unsalted butter (melted or softened)
  • 15.25 ounce box cake mix (any flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mix-ins (options include chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop or spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted or softened butter, the box of cake mix, and the eggs. Mix until fully combined and forms a thick dough.
  4. Fold in your choice of mix-ins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look underbaked but will cook as they cool.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a warm treat, microwave cookies for about 10-15 seconds before serving.
