Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces/432 grams) vanilla or white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) vegetable oil
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Decorative Ingredients:
- ½ cup (75 grams) Valentines Day-themed sprinkles
- ½ cup (75 grams) Valentines M&Ms or chocolate candies
Instructions
- Warm the kitchen oven to 350F (175C), creating a cozy baking environment. Cover baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- Merge cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing vessel. Whisk ingredients until a velvety, uniform dough emerges. Carefully incorporate colorful sprinkles and vibrant M&Ms, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Craft delicate dough spheres using a tablespoon measure. Gently place cookie rounds onto prepared baking surfaces, maintaining generous spacing between each morsel. Delicately press down each round with fingertips or the back of a utensil to create a slightly flattened profile.
- Position trays in preheated oven, allowing cookies to transform for 9-11 minutes. Watch for subtle golden edges while maintaining soft, tender centers. Avoid excessive baking to preserve delicate texture.
- Allow cookies to rest momentarily on baking sheets, permitting initial cooling and structural stabilization. After five minutes, carefully transfer delicate treats to wire cooling racks, enabling complete temperature reduction.
- Serve these festive morsels immediately or package creatively in charming Valentine-themed containers for delightful gifting opportunities.
Notes
- Swap cake mix flavors to create endless cookie variations, matching themes or seasonal colors for maximum excitement.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a perfect round shape.
- Use gluten-free cake mix and alternative flour to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising delicious taste.
- Reduce oil by 1 tablespoon for slightly firmer cookies that hold their shape better during baking process.
