How to Make Cookies Using Yellow Cake Mix

Using a pre-packaged cake mix to make cookies is a quick way to create a homemade baked good warm from the oven. These quick cookies are a good option if you don't have the ingredients for a standard recipe or if you receive short notice for a potluck dinner.

Things You'll Need

• Large mixing bowl
• Mixing spoon
• Yellow cake mix
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• Cookie sheet pan

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease your cookie sheet with a little butter or cooking spray.

2. Open the cake mix and pour the dry powder into the mixing bowl.

3. Add ½ cup oil and the egg. Stir with spoon until everything is combined leaving you with a moist, crumbly dough.

4. Spoon the dough out by the teaspoon and place on the cookie sheet. Put 12 cookies on one standard cookie baking sheet.

5. Flatten the cookies a bit with your hand and give them a round shape. The dough is thick so it will not spread much on its own during baking.

6. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges become brown. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about one minute and then transfer them to a baking rack.

Tips & Warnings

• Add chopped nuts or dried fruits to your cookies to give them a different flavor and texture. Consider pecans or dried pineapple. Add flavorings to the batter such as lemon or almond to give the cookies a new taste.

• Don't over bake the cookies. They will brown quickly so get them out of the oven as soon as the browning starts. They will become too hard if baked too long.
