How to Make Kathy's Cake Mix Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Stir in your desired add-ins (chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, etc.).
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 tablespoons) of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
