These cookies come together in minutes. The photos below show what each step looks like. You’ll find the full instructions and ingredient amounts in the recipe card.
- Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop into balls and place about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Top Tips
- Don’t overbake: Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as they’re set.
- Line the pan: Parchment paper makes cleanup easy.
- Let them rest: Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Variations
- Use white cake mix and stir in ½ to 1 cup rainbow sprinkles.
- Use themed sprinkles for birthdays, holidays, or team colors.
- Stir in about 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough balls in granulated or powdered sugar before baking.
- Frost cooled cookies and decorate with extra sprinkles.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Like most homemade cookies, they’ll begin to dry out after a few days.
FAQ
A warm baking sheet is usually the culprit. Always place the cookie dough on a cool baking sheet and let it cool completely between batches to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
