Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) Vanilla cake mix
- 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup (for rolling, optional) Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Step 3
If desired, use a small bowl to place the granulated sugar for rolling.
Step 4
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. If using, roll the dough ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.
Step 5
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Using the bottom of a glass or your fingers, gently press down on the dough balls to slightly flatten them.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look dry. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
