‘Tis the season for all things cookies. I love a good cookie recipe, especially my boxed cake mix cookie recipe. It requires minimal ingredients with high quality taste. These boxed cake mix cookies that I have included in this post is, Mint Chocolate, Red Velvet and Snicker-doodle. Cookie making has never been easier!
These box cake mix cookies are my go-to recipe because they are so easy and cheap to make. They are so versatile and you can ultimately make any kind of cookie you can imagine with a simple box cake mix.
Red Velvet, Mint Chocolate and Snickerdoodle are always my favorite types of cookies to make. I made 3 batches of cookies in under an hour and it took 4 ingredients or LESS. That’s right, only 4 ingredients to get the cookies of your dreams. They are literally fool proof and will come out perfect every single time.
How Do You Make Box Cake Mix Cookies?
First, select the box cake mix you are wanting to use. Next mix together 1/2 cup oil 2 large eggs and 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 cup of mix ins of choice, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or etc… Finally roll into a ball, pop on a cookie sheet and bake. Seriously, it is that easy.
Tips For Making The Perfect Cookies?
- Make sure not to over bake. Bake these cookies 9-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on your cookies because all ovens tend to cook differently.
- Make sure all your batter is completely combined.
- Add in eggs one at a time.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Space cookies evenly on baking sheet.
- Use an ice cream scoop to get the perfect size cookies every single time.
- Rotate your pan during cooking to make sure all cookies are evenly cooked.
- Use a cooling rack
