How to Make Healthier Oatmeal Cookies With A Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite cake mix, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  3. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Add additional oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a droppable cookie dough consistency.
  5. Stir in ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins), if desired.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft; this is okay. Do not overbake.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
