Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 15.25 oz cake mix, any flavor
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Stir together the cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Scoop the dough into 1 tablespoon balls. Roll each in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar.
  4. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the balls 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the tops have cracked and the edges are set.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Any flavor of boxed cake mix works, so feel free to experiment.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
  • Freeze the rolled, unbaked dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a bag so you can bake just a few at a time.
