Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, quick-cooking oats, and brown sugar, stirring until evenly blended.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until a thick cookie dough forms.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
