Cake box cookies are an easy way to get creative with flavors. I often use these either in a pinch or to inspire me to create scratch recipes once I’ve perfected a flavor profile. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 box cake mix (15oz) 2 cups old-fashioned oats (or use quick oats + 1/4 cup flour) 1/2 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup butter, softened 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup chopped pecans 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix cake mix, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.
Add the sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix well. Place in the freezer for 20 to 30 mins to stiffen the dough.
Use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop and bake for 18 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
