Kitchen Equipment Needed:

1. Large mixing bowl
2. Wooden spoon or spatula
3. Baking sheet
4. Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Ingredients:

• 1 box (18.25 ounces) cake mix (any flavor of your choice)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup mix-ins of your choice (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until well combined and a thick dough forms. If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
3. Form the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can flatten the dough slightly with the palm of your hand if you prefer thinner cookies.
4. Bake the Cookies: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The cookies may still appear soft in the center, but they will continue to set as they cool.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
6. Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these Lazy Cake Cookies as a quick and easy treat for any occasion. Whether enjoyed with a glass of milk or packed in a lunchbox for a sweet snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone.
