Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) spice cake mix ($1.68)
- 2 large eggs ($0.30)
- ½ cup vegetable oil ($0.35)
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats ($0.06)
Instructions
- Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and oats until well mixed.
- Shape cookies. Scoop the dough into balls using a small cookie scoop or about 2 rounded tablespoons per cookie. Place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Bake. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the edges look set and the tops are no longer glossy.
- Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Yield. Makes about 13 large cookies or 30 small cookies, depending on scoop size.
- Shaping. Flatten cookies slightly for even baking. Use the bottom of a cup for larger cookies.
- Add-ins. Up to 1 cup raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips can be mixed into the dough.
- Texture. Quick-cooking oats create a softer cookie texture.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
