When you walk through the grocery store and pass the bakery, it’s hard to miss the soft baked frosting covered cookies that taste like childhood.
But on a college budget buying an $8 box of cookies might not be easy on the wallet.
These easy cookies are made with cake mix, but have the texture and taste of a store bought sugar cookie.
Softest Cake Cookies
1 box of white cake mix
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with a non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on size.
These cookies allow for variation of flavors, you can swap out cake mixes and toppings and keep the softness of the cake cookies.
