Between working on the blog, keeping the house clean(ish) and entertaining our very high energy toddler, saying life is busy is an understatement.

The best part is that all you need for these easy cookies are 4 simple ingredients – or 3 ingredients if you skip the white chocolate chips!

Storage

Countertop: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.

Freezer: Place cookies in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container with wax paper between each layer at freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw cookies at room temperature.

You can also freeze the cookie dough in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.

Baking Tips

Follow these helpful baking tips for the best easy cake mix cookies.

SKIP THE SPRAY: Non-stick cooking spray can cause cookies to spread out too much during baking, which is why I recommend using parchment paper or silicone mats instead.

CHILL DOUGH: Don’t skip chilling the cookie dough. Chilling works to prevent cookie dough from spreading too much while baking, which can result in flat cookies. It also keeps the dough from sticking to your hands while you are rolling the cookie dough balls. If your cookie dough becomes too sticky while you are working with it you can chill it for another 15 minutes or so to firm it back up again.

KEEP SIZE SAME: Keep the size of your cookie dough balls the same so that all cookies bake evenly.

SHAPE DOUGH: After placing the balls of cookie dough on your baking sheets, gently press down on each ball to flatten it slightly. This will help to make sure the cookies take a nice circular shape as they bake.

Variations

Swap the chips: Don’t care for white chocolate? Dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips are great options that add a different flavor.

Strawberry Crinkle Cookies: Leave out the chocolate chips and roll each cookie dough ball in powdered sugar before baking.

Sky’s the limit. Try different flavor combinations, using different cake mixes.
