Okay, so, I tried making cookies with Pillsbury strawberry cake mix today. Sounds weird, right? But I saw some people online talking about it, and I was curious. So I grabbed a box of the mix, some eggs, and oil from my kitchen.
First, I preheated my oven to 350°F because that’s what most cookie recipes tell you to do. Then, I dumped the whole cake mix into a big bowl. It smelled so sweet and fruity, just like strawberries. After that, I cracked two eggs into the bowl and poured in about a third of a cup of oil. I think you can use butter too, but I just had oil on hand.
Next, I mixed everything together with a big spoon. It took a bit of elbow grease, but eventually, it turned into this thick, pink dough. It was kind of sticky, but that’s okay. I remembered someone online saying you can add stuff to the dough to make it even better, like vanilla or chocolate chips. I didn’t have any chocolate chips, so I just sprinkled in a bit of vanilla extract.
Then, I took spoonfuls of the dough and dropped them onto a baking sheet. I didn’t have any parchment paper, so I just lightly greased the sheet with some oil. I made sure to leave some space between each dollop of dough, you know, so they wouldn’t all stick together while baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix cake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup of oil.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract (optional).
- Spoon dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
I popped the baking sheet into the oven and set a timer for 8 minutes. Some people said to bake for 10 minutes, but I figured I’d start with 8 and see how they looked. After 8 minutes, I peeked into the oven, and the cookies looked like they were done. They were all puffed up and slightly golden around the edges. One cookie’s total fat is about 9g, wow, it is a little bit higher, but who can resist the delicious temptation?
I carefully took the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes. They were super soft and chewy when I tried one. And guess what? They actually tasted pretty good! They were sweet and had a nice strawberry flavor. Not exactly like regular cookies, but definitely tasty in their own way.
The Final Result
So yeah, making cookies from cake mix is a real thing, and it’s actually pretty easy. It’s a fun little experiment to try if you’re bored with regular cookies or just want to use up a box of cake mix. I mean it is 120 Calories each cookie, not bad, right? If you do try it, let me know how it goes! Maybe you can even add your own special twist to the recipe.
