Description
These incredibly soft cookies utilize the science of cake mix to create a tender, uniform crumb with minimal effort. Perfect for any occasion, they offer a reliable and versatile base that can be customized with your favorite mix-ins.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25-ounce) cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 to 1 cup mix-ins (such as chocolate chips or sprinkles)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs with a spatula until no dry streaks of flour remain.
- Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spread.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and centers appear dry; let rest on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
To ensure a consistent and professional result, make sure your eggs are at room temperature so they emulsify properly with the oil. If the dough seems too soft to handle, chilling it for 30 minutes before scooping will help control the spread during baking and result in a thicker cookie.
