Description

Quick and easy butter cookies made from cake mix that are soft, chewy, and incredibly delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, place rounded balls of dough on a lined baking sheet, leaving space in between.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center remains soft.
  6. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing and consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes to improve flavor and control spread. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
