Craving a baked treat, but don’t feel like buying copious amounts of flour and baking soda to only use them once? Have no fear – this cake cookie recipe won’t fill your cabinets with useless items. It’s simple but tasty and results in the perfect blend of cake texture in a cookie sized serving! I used strawberry cake mix, but you can buy whatever flavor you like.

Recipe adapted from Aubrey’s Kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 box cake mix (15.25 ounce box preferred)

2 eggs

⅓ cup vegetable oil

Powdered sugar (optional

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix cake mix, eggs and oil until well combined.

3. Form dough into small balls with a diameter slightly larger than a quarter or more if larger cookies are desired.

4. Optional: roll dough balls into powdered sugar for a crinkle effect.

5. Place dough onto a baking sheet.

6. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove if they start to look even slightly browned to preserve the cake texture.

7. Enjoy!
