Cake Mix Cookies are some of the easiest yet most delicious cookies to make! With only 3 ingredients, anyone can help make this recipe and everyone will love these soft and chewy cookies!

Using cake mix is the fastest shortcut to having cookies baking in the oven. If you haven’t used this trick yet, grab a box and see for yourself! Cake Mix Cookies use only three ingredients and the only thing you have to measure is the oil!

When we say this recipe is versatile, we mean it! Pick up any boxed cake mix and you can make this Cake Mix Cookie recipe. We love Betty Crocker cake mixes, but you can use chocolate cake mix, yellow cake mix, and even something like strawberry cake mix!

If you’re craving something home-baked, yet you don’t want to break a sweat, this is the batter you’re looking for!

Cake Mix Cookies Ingredients

• Box cake mix
• Vegetable oil 
• Eggs

Even though the basic recipe is only three ingredients, you can add-in anything you want! Maybe try mixing in chocolate or peanut butter chips, sprinkles, M&Ms, or your favorite candy pieces.

Get creative! By mixing and matching cake mixes and add-ins, you have countless cookie options! Use about a cup of your add-in ingredient (except for sprinkles - you only need ½ cup of those), but don't hesitate to cover your cookies in toppings!

Here's some ideas for different mixtures you can try out!
