Notes
Use any flavor of cake mix you’d like! Strawberry, lemon, chocolate or Devil’s food, red velvet, vanilla, and spice cake mixes all make great cookies and taste great with a variety of mix-ins.
If you’re using a confetti or sprinkle cake mix, reduce the oil to ⅓ cup. Those mixes spread a bit more, and less oil will create a fluffier, thicker cookie.
Let the eggs come to room temperature before making the dough. It’ll make them easier to mix into the cake mix without overmixing, helping you achieve the perfect tender crumbed interior.
Use a cookie scoop to achieve perfectly sized cookies. Take things a step further and round off the edges using a large biscuit cutter. Place the cutter around the cookie while it’s still warm, then make a swirling motion. Voila! Bakery-level treats with zero fuss.
