BASIC RECIPE:
Cake mix + 1/2 cup oil + 2 eggs.
Mix in chocolate chips, nuts, whatever you want.
DIRECTIONS: Scoop with an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure and place on parchment lined cookie sheet (I use a silicon mat). Flatten to 1/2 in thick w/ the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Leave plenty of space - I put 6 cookies per baking sheet. Bake @ 350* for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet 2 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
They go from smallish on the left to HUGE on the right:
They make great cookies for ice cream sandwiches. The cookie stays crispy in the freezer & does not get soggy.
This recipe is so versatile! Any flavor cake mix works. I've done spice mix and added finely shredded carrots & made "Carrot Cake" whoopsie pies using a cream cheese frosting as the filling. I've also used red velvet cake mix and dipped the cookies in melted chocolate then dipped them in crushed candy canes for a fun holiday cookie. And you can use any size scoop, just watch the time for smaller cookies.
