Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, whisked eggs, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2: Shape and Bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.

Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Drizzle the warm glaze over the cookies. Allow it to set before serving.

Tips for the Best Cookies

Do not overbake – cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother dough.

For extra richness, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
