Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- 2 large eggs
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/4 cup sprinkles
- Optional: 1/3 cup chopped nuts
- Optional: 1 teaspoon citrus zest or pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cake mix, oil, and eggs until a thick dough forms.
- Stir in any optional add-ins if using.
- Scoop about 1½ tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
- Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
