The Basics

2 cups oil + 2 eggs. There is a basic formula that you can use to make almost any box cake mix into cookies, and it is as follows: 1 cake mix box + 1

Utilizing these ingredients instead of the ones listed on the box will result in a cake mix that is significantly more thick and cookie-like. There’s no need to whisk the batter for a set period of time or add the ingredients in any particular sequence; just combine everything in a large mixing bowl and stir.

This simple recipe will work with practically any package of cake mix you have on hand. It doesn’t matter whether the cake is chocolate, funfetti, or red velvet! Cookies may be made with just eggs and oil!

Although most box cakes advocate using vegetable oil in their directions, feel free to experiment. Try using coconut oil or melted butter instead (especially since cookies are usually made with butter anyway).

Scoop your improvised cookies onto a sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. The time will vary based on the sort of cookies you make and the cake mix you choose. I always check the cookies after 6 minutes to see how they are coming along.

Like with conventional cookies, you want browning around the edges and the centers of the cookies to be set (no longer liquid). Use your best cookie judgment to determine when they are ready to be removed! You’ll be munching cake mix cookies in no time!

Another Cookie Trick

Using the fundamental procedure for transforming boxed cake mix into cookies, you may make your mix even more cookie-like by adding some standard cookie mix ins, such as chocolate chips.

Now that you have the dough ready, take a bag of chocolate chips and add those in as well- your improvised cookies will suddenly become more like regular cookies!

Just as you may add a variety of ingredients into conventional cookie dough, you can do the same with cake mix cookie dough. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, M&Ms, or anything your cookie yearning heart wants!

Vanilla cake mix with cinnamon Cookies will produce a snickerdoodle-like cookie, whilst sprinkles added to yellow cake mix will result in a birthday cookie cake explosion. Be inventive—what that’s baking is all about!

Roll Them

If you don’t want to add anything to your improvised cookie dough, you can always roll it in toppings to make it more cookie-like and less cake-like.

Before baking, roll your cookie (cake) dough in cinnamon and sugar. Powdered sugar is also a terrific cookie topping since it creates a nice crackling effect when baking. For a candy-crunch crust on the exterior of your cookie, roll the dough in sprinkles rather than mixing them in.

Whatever you do, don’t leave the cookie dough alone—how dull would that be? (but seriously if you want to leave it plain, it will still be tasty enough to eat a whole dozen).
