These adorable cookies are so easy to pull together as they’re only 3 ingredients – you take a short-cut with a cake mix! The cookies come out soft and chewy on the inside and you can customize by using whatever flavor cake mix you like! You can add in nuts, chocolate chips or candies. You can roll them in nonpareils, sprinkles or powdered sugar and you can top them with candies, glaze or frosting – the options are endless!

Spice Cake Mix + Butterscotch Chips

Chocolate Cake Mix + Peanut Butter Chips

Red Velvet Cake Mix + White Chocolate Chips

Yellow Cake Mix + M&Ms

Lemon Cake Mix + Lemon zest + Rolled in Powdered Sugar

I love how cute these are for Valentine’s Day! You could also make festive strawberry cake mix and red velvet cake mix cookies too!! Enjoy! ❤️

I rolled mine in nonpareil candies and topped them with M and M candies – you can mix-in, roll-in or top with whatever you like! (The nonpareils are really crunchy!)

Use any flavor cake mix you like! These are strawberry cake mix with white chocolate chips and M and M’s!

3-Ingredient Cookie Batter! Cake Mix + eggs + oil!

Mix in eggs…

Mix in oil…

The dough is thick and sticky. Finish mixing by hand, then chill the dough for 20-30 minutes.

I use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookies, then roll in my hands. You can spray the scoop with non-stick spray to help the dough not stick.

I’m rolling mine in crunchy nonpareils and topping with Valentine M and M’s. (It takes a 3-ounce jar of nonpareils.)

I just roll half the ball in nonpareils and leave the bottom plain.

They form beautiful cracks toward the end of baking! In the spring, I want to try using a lemon cake mix and rolling in powdered sugar!

I press the M and M’s in after baking. I only bake one tray at a time, so I can get all the M and M’s pressed in before the cookies cool off.

So cute!

3-Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies

    I made these with a gluten free devils food mix and they were very hard to mold into balls (very crumbly). Any suggestions to help hold the mix together? They were delicious and want to make again. Thank you for any suggestions.

      Interesting! I haven’t tried myself with gluten free cake mix. I know the texture of the mix is different. I wonder if you could add an extra egg white to help hold it together??
