Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 1 cup cream
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 box cake mix (white or brown)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  1. Mix sugar, oil, cream, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  2. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Stir in the cake mix if desired for extra flavor and texture.
  4. Shape the dough into cookies using a spoon.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the oil with melted butter. If you don't have cake mix, you can use an equivalent amount of flour, cocoa powder for chocolate cookies, or even add spices like cinnamon for a twist. Mixing in some chocolate chips or nuts can also enhance texture, making them reminiscent of Buckeye Candy Balls.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are delicious on their own but can also be served with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for a delightful treat. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Gold Butter Cake to create an enticing dessert platter.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. If you want to reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, you can experiment with different flours like whole wheat or almond flour. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly.

What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

If the dough is too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm up the dough and make it easier to shape into cookies.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Absolutely! You can freeze the cookie dough before baking or freeze the baked cookies. Just ensure they're in a freezer-safe container, and they can last for up to three months. Thaw and bake them fresh for a warm treat or enjoy the baked ones at room temperature.
