Best Vanilla Cake Mix Cookies

Start to finish in 30 minutes. Mouthwatering, soft, fluffy, and delicious cookies.

I had to make a second batch because my family completely went through 2 dozen in one day. Of course, there were eight people eating them. I should have known better.

You'll need:

• 1 boxed cake mix, white cake ( I used Duncan Hines, super moist white).
• 1/2 cup self rising flour (The addition of the extra self rising flour makes 24 perfect sized cookies)
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs, large, whole, no shells.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°f

2. In a large mixing bowl add in the cake mix. Discard box and plastic bag.

3. Add the 1/2 cup self rising flour. Stir with a whisk or fork to incorporate with the cake mix.

4. Melt the 1 stick of unsalted butter, pour over cake mix, and then...

5. Add the 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Use an electric hand mixer and mix on low to medium until a dough forms and is smooth.

6. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

7. Use a #40 cookie disher which is the equivalent of 2 tablespoons per cookie. Scoop out 12 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet pan. Leave space between cookies. Gently press the tops of each dough ball flat with two fingers.

8. Bake both pans for 13 to 15 minutes in the 375°f oven. The cookies will be slightly soft when removed from the oven.

9. LET THEM COOL for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to continue to cool. If you try to the cookies to a wire rack just out of the oven, they will fall apart.

10. Storage: place cookies in a sealed container and store at room temperature for about 3 days, or for a week in the refrigerator.

Enjoy! Delicious 😋
