Vanilla Cake Mix Cookies
These Vanilla Cake Mix Cookies are my go-to when I need homemade-tasting cookies fast. With just a handful of ingredients, they’re soft, chewy, and endlessly customizable. Perfect for when you’re short on time or energy!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix any brand
- 2 eggs large
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are just turning golden. Centers should still look slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overbake! Cookies continue to set as they cool. For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking. Add-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos work great!
