I have a major sweet tooth! Every year we make a Christmas cookie box for our neighbors and friends. While some recipes are more complicated than others my favorite cookie to add to the mix are these simple and delicious Three Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies!
White cake mix is $0.79 at my local grocery store. Sometimes I mix it up in an attempt to be healthyish and I buy Sugar Free white cake mix, although this is a little more expensive at $1.45 a box. Taste wise, there is no real difference if you choose to use regular cake mix or the sugar free mix; choose the cake mix that is right for you and your budget.
Check out my recipe for these amazing Three Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies and help satisfy that sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- Box of White Cake Mix
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup of sprinkles or candy (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until they are well incorporated.
Optional: Add the sprinkles or candy to the dough mixture. Fold the sprinkles or candy into the dough, do not over mix them because you do not want them to break down.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
This recipe makes approximately 24 cookies.
Fun With Sprinkles
One of the reasons I love this cookie, other than the fact that they are delicious, is that they work for EVERY Holiday.
Change the sprinkle color and shapes for each holiday season. Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day…really the possibility of sprinkle choices are endless.
Candy Couldn’t Hurt
Have any leftover Halloween Candy? Just dump them into this cookie instead of the sprinkles to make them extra decadent. Any number of common candies would be great in this cookie: M&M’s, Reese’s, Snickers, Twix, Milkyway…I could go on an on.
One of my favorite candies to add is of course M&M’s. That candy coated chocolate bite satisfies my chocolate craving every time!
Customizing Three Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies
These cookies are great to customize for parties and holidays.
Every year I make a holiday cookie box for my neighbors and every year this three ingredient cake mix cookie makes it in! I simply add a few drops of green food coloring to the three ingredient cake mix dough and place one red M&M or larger red heart sprinkle in the center of the cookie prior to baking. These easy cookies have now been magically transformed into Grinch Cookies!
ANY boxed cake mix can be used to create different flavor combinations. Chocolate Cake Mix, Lemon Cake Mix, and Spice Cake Mix are some of my favorites! What are you waiting for?
These simple and deliciously easy three ingredient cake mix cookies are sure to be a hit with the entire house!
