Tips & Tricks To Make the Best Cake Mix Cookies :

  • Start with your favorite Cake Mix flavor and make sure it matches the recipe quantity requirements
  • You can use melted butter or canola oil if you don’t have butter on hand. I prefer using butter, but oil will work too.
  • The eggs should be at room temperature
  • I like to roll the cookies in white granulated sugar, it gives it that crackly, sugary top
  • You can use your favorite mix ins, but don’t use fresh fruits like raspberries, as they will add extra water to the recipe
  • Mix ins that I like are: chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, raisins and dried fruits
  • Make sure you don’t over bake the cookies and let them cool in the pan a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, as the cookies are still very soft when they come out of the oven
