Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 15.25 oz cake mix (any flavour: chocolate, vanilla, funfetti, etc.)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Optional add-ins:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • ½ cup chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Make the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. Stir in optional add-ins if using.

Shape the Cookies:

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake:

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Cookie dough can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
  • Flavour Ideas: Try red velvet with white chocolate chips, lemon with coconut, or chocolate with peanut butter chips.
  • Serving Suggestions: Great for birthday parties, school events, or gifting in treat bags.
  • Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
