The Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

One of my favorite and easy desserts to make are cake mix cookies. It’s the best dessert recipe when you are looking for something simple that also has so many flavor options.

I don’t know who the genius was that created this recipe, but I bet our family makes them at least once a month. And why not? They can be made in just 10 minutes, and the flavor depends on which cake mix you choose.

We’ve made just about every cake mix cookie recipe you can think of, and today I am going to share with you just how easy these are to make.

What are Cake Mix Cookies?

Cake mix cookies are dessert cookies that have a chewy cake-like texture. There are many flavor options because they are made from your favorite cake mixes.

Cake mix cookies are also a quick and easy dessert idea. With only three ingredients, they aren’t time-consuming and can be made in just 10 minutes.

Items Needed for Make Cake Mix Cookies

To make these cake cookies, you will need a few things on hand:

  • box of cake mix
  • cookie sheet
  • eggs
  • vegetable oil
  • hand mixer
  • large bowl
  • parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray

How to Make Cake Mix Cookies

The best part about these cake cookies is that they are so simple you can’t mess them up.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and pick out your favorite cake mix. In a large bowl, mix the oil, eggs, and cake mix with a hand mixer. Once the dough has formed, use an ice cream scoop to scoop onto a prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving.

How do I keep the Cake Mix Cookie dough from being sticky?

Because the cookie dough requires oil, it is very sticky. I generally use a wooden spoon to help remove the thick mixture from the mixer blades.

To keep the dough from sticking to your spoon, you might consider placing the mixture into the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping it onto the cookie sheet to bake.

How do I store leftover Cake Mix Cookies?

If you don’t eat all of them in one sitting, congrats! You’ve achieved a higher level of self-discipline that I have. But seriously, you can store any leftover cake mix cookies in an airtight container out of direct sunlight and preferably in a cool setting such as the refrigerator.

These cookies warm up well and can be placed into the microwave for a warm, chewy, cake-like cookie.

Can I freeze Cake Mix Cookies?

Cake mix cookies can be frozen and are best done in these easy steps:

  • Freeze cake mix cookies on a cookie sheet
  • Once frozen, stack cookies in a freezer-safe airtight container with parchment paper between them
  • Store in the freezer for up to 3 months

How many variations of cake mix cookies are there?

The sky is the limit when it comes to making cake cookies. Not only do you have a lot of cake mix flavors to choose from, but you can also add different mix-ins to change things up, or just top them with powdered sugar.

Some of my favorite ways to make cake cookies are:

  • Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
  • Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
  • Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
  • Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
  • adding different mix-ins
