Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  5. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure to measure oil accurately to avoid greasy cookies. Chilling the dough for 15-30 minutes can help prevent excessive spreading.
