Yellow Cake Mix Cookies
A basic recipe for simple and delicious yellow cake mix cookies made with homemade yellow cake mix or a box mix from the store.
Servings: 12 large cookies
Calories: 224kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla optional
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box Yellow Cake Mix
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment or coating with cooking spray. The cookies spread out quite a bit so it may be necessary to use more than one baking sheet or bake in batches.
- Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and vanilla (optional) until fully combined.
- Combine: Add cake mix to liquid ingredients and stir with a spatula or spoon to form a smooth dough.
- Portion: Form round balls using 2 rounded tablespoons of dough and place 3-4 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 13-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cookies will be done when they are almost fully set on the edges and slightly golden on the bottom.
- Store: Let cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Using our homemade yellow cake mix will result in cookies that are thinner, crispy on the outside, and doughy in the middle (but include NO additives or preservatives). Using a store-bought mix will create thicker, cake-like cookies with a recognizable “cake mix/batter” flavor.
- If using store-bought cake mix, be sure to get a 15.25 ounce box or else the cookies won't turn out correctly.
