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!

The weight has changed on the cake mixes how do you adjust recipe?
, thank you so much for posting this! It is gonna aid me when I order Coconut Milk online! Super Awe Inspiring!
Or use Butternut squash instead of oil… works for cake mix why not cookies??
I made these, yellow cake mix added some peanut butter and chocolate and peanut butter chips. YUMMMM
Great recipe. Been using this for years. You can add 1 tsp of vanilla or any other flavoring to up the flavor.
just google cake mix cookies. there are lots of recipes and variations there
These cookies sound AWSOME. They will help save the day for my”cookie monster”. Thank you for the recipe
Have you ever replaced the oil with 1/2 cup of applesauce? It would really reduce you calories.
OMG, they are awesome! thanks for sharing.
Looks amazing- what is the recipe for the frosting?
Made these, doubled the recipe and used orange flavoring. They disappeared in less time than it took me to make them. Great to know about these recipes. Thanks
My 12 yr old chef-in-training son made these and wow, they were dynamite! He used French vanilla w/ canned frosting, adding a touch of almond extract. Will definitely be making these again.
I added raspberry jello to the white cake mix. Awesome.
Are they a chewy cookie or cake-like?
Tried these with Bob’s Redmill Gluten-Free vanilla cake mix… I only made one alteration: added some lemon juice (because i’m not a huge fan of the nutty flavor of the mix) and they turned out great!
