I love to make delicious treats with different recipes and ingredients. One of my favorite treats is to make delicious cookies from cake mix. It’s simple and delicious, mouthwatering cookies. In this article, I will share the easiest recipe for making cookies from cake mix. By following tips and tricks, you can make delicious cookies.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, etc.

Equipments:

• Mixing bowl
• Electric mixer or whisk
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Wire rack

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box.
• Combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until a soft dough forms. The dough will be thick and sticky.
• Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits. Gently fold them into the dough.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
• Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading. You can also roll the dough into balls and flatten it slightly with your hands.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden brown.
• Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Variations:

• Red Velvet Cookies: Use a red velvet cake mix and add white chocolate chips or cream cheese frosting to make rich and delicious cookies
• Chocolate Lovers’ Cookies: Add a cup of chocolate chips to your chocolate cake mix cookies for an extra rich and indulgent flavor.
• Peanut Butter Cookies: Mix a chocolate cake with creamy peanut butter for a heavenly combination. Add chopped peanuts or peanut butter chips to add more crunch.
• Lemon Burst Cookies: Add the zest of a lemon to your lemon cake mix cookies for a refreshing and tangy twist.
• Caramel Crunch Cookies: Add chopped pecans and caramel bits into your butter pecan cake mix cookies for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
• Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies: Choose a chocolate cake mix and add mint extract and chocolate chips for a refreshing flavor.

Tips And Tricks

• When combining the cake mix, eggs, and oil, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to hard cookies.
• For cookies that hold their shape and have a better texture, consider chilling the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
• If you prefer softer, chewier cookies, reduce the baking time slightly. Conversely, extend the baking time by a few minutes if you enjoy a crispier texture.
• Depending on your preference, you can add a little extra sweetness to your cookies by adding a handful of chocolate chips or a sprinkle of powdered sugar into the dough.
• To maintain the freshness of your cake mix cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Adding a slice of bread can help keep them soft.
• Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and prevent sticking. This also helps with even baking and reduces the risk of burning the cookies from the bottom.
