Whenever I am in a pinch for time and need cookies I make cake mix cookies. I am such a fan of these super quick and delicious cookies (remember these?–really they are the best). Seriously in less time than it would take for you to go to the store to buy cookies you can bake these yummy cookies.

I am all about the cake mix. For sugar cookies I love Duncan Hines French Vanilla Moist Deluxe cake mix. For the Chocolate cookies I love Aldi’s Devil’s Food cake mix.
Cake Mix Sugar Cookies
.
1 Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 – 1/2 Cup canola oil (I used 1/2 cup this time. A 1/3 cup works great also -the batter is slightly more stiff so slightly flatten your balls)
.
Mix well and scoop (I use a 2 Tablespoon scoop) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 13 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Makes 20 cookies.
Yum!

Silly question.. can you roll out the batter to make cut outs?
AWESOME RECIPE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Has anyone added nuts to this recipe? I really want to try nuts and maybe chocolate chips.
I saw a similar recipe somewhere that had an option for bars. I’m not a baker. Could someone please tell me if this sounds right?
1 pkg cake mix
3/4 cup butter flavored shortening melted & cooled
1 egg, 2 Tblsp Milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 Tblsp sugar
Combine all ingredients, spread evenly in 15″x10″ Jelly Roll pan (can I use a 9″ x 13″ pan?) & sprinkle with 1 Tblsp sugar. Bake @ 375• for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool & cut into squares. Can also omit 1 Tblsp sugar on top – bake as directed. Cool & then frost.
I think I might be combining 2 different recipes, one ingredients with anothers directions. I’m pretty sure they were similar, though ?!?? What do y’all think? Does this look like it would work?

Any input would be appreciated!!
Happy Holidays!

Yum! I added chocolate chips to a French Vanilla cake mix. I live at a high altitude but the only change I needed was to bake mine longer (about 18 minutes total). Thanks for a great recipe!
you can add crushed candy canes/ peppermint candies or peppermint chips (available during the holidays) to the Aldi Devil’s Food Cookies and it tastes just like a thin mint!
We made these using a plain white cake mix, I added a tsp of vanilla for flavor. So delicious. The kids loved them.
wow those look soo delicious! I want them!
wow! That is easy! I will try these! I linked to this post!
It’s 11:00 pm here … would it be really wrong to bake cookies at 11:00 at night? I may not be able to wait until morning … YUMMY!
My dad has made these for about 4 years. SOOOO good! And, you can try just about any cake mix! He liked devils food best.
YUMMY! Oh i’m so making these!
that’s crazy my question is how on earth did you think of doing this?
looking forward to making all different kinds!
I am looking forward to trying these!

Ooo! Yum, I’ve been looking for a recipe like this for a while!
