Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 (18.25 oz) box of cake mix- any kind. (I’ve used Rainbow Chip for my cookies below)

  • 1/3 c. Vegetable Oil

Directions:

Heat oven to 375.

Mix cookie ingredients together.

The Trudeau 2 in 1 Large Spatula has clever design features including an integrated spoon rest and a dual ended handle that elevates this simple tool to a different level. Use the larger end for scraping the bowl without scratching cookware, the smaller end for spreading icing and then place it down on the counter without leaving a mess!

Put 1 inch heaps onto cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.

The fancy and functional non-stick Baking Liner from Trudeau is decorated with positioning circles for perfect placement of cookie dough that can also fold in half to adapt from large to small baking sheets. The heat resistant silicone liner protects bakeware and it’s easy to clean then rolls up for compact storage.
