Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). In large bowl, stir dry cake mix, oil, vanilla and eggs with spoon until dough forms. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • 2
    Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Discard any remaining sugar.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered at room temperature.

  • A cake mix is just the right blend of flour, leavening, and flavorings—a tried and true shortcut to baking up everyday treats. Stirring a chocolate cake mix with eggs and oil yields a soft dough. Chilling it before rolling it into balls—protecting the dough from the heat of your hands—ensures that the cookies will be meltingly tender when they leave the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to make portioning cookie dough even faster and more consistent. It also ensures cookies will bake the same length of time.
  • Cookies turn out best when baked one cookie sheet at a time, on middle oven rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool completely between bakes. If cookie sheet is too warm, cookies may spread.
