Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent cookies from sticking.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, softened butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Use a mixer or spoon to blend until all ingredients are well incorporated and a soft dough forms.
  3. Add Nuts and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chopped nuts and semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Scoop the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
  6. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a crunchier cookie, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Chopped nuts are optional and can be substituted with walnuts, pecans, or omitted for nut-free cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen, adding a couple extra minutes to the baking time.
