Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 ounces) Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cups (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3
If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly glossy. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
