My Aunt Sheree is the queen of cake box cookies. She has learned to mix and match tons of these and as I make them I’ll be sharing them with you. These recipes have been fantastic when I needed to bring a dessert to any event. I have brought them to baseball games, school functions, and family and friend functions, and even my husband has been making them for his cookie shift at work. These are so easy to make and loved by so many! I’m so excited to share another variation with you and this one comes from me specifically as I love mint M&Ms.
Ingredients for Devil’s food cake mix cookies
- 1 Box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oil (you can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or another oil of your choice)

Instructions for devil cookies
1. Place 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oil in a bowl
2. Add chocolate Devil’s Food Cake Mix and add-ins into the bowl and stir until mixed completely.
3. Drop 1 tablespoon-sized cookie onto an ungreased cookie sheet. You’ll be able to do more than one baking sheet at a time.
I like to use a cookie scoop to help with this process.
4. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 7 minutes for softer cookies and 10 minutes for crispy cookies. If you like you can line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
5. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Cookie Tips:
- If you’d rather make your own batter you can. You can add things like cocoa powder, wheat flour, baking soda, etc, and have more control over what is in the batter.
- Substitute things like butter for the oil.
- I like to use avocado oil over hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Are you ready to try these devil’s food cake mix cookies? Once you bake them and smell the aroma, you’ll want to dive right in. I like to bake them, and throw some in the freezer. This way I don’t eat them all, and can pull out a couple at a time.
I was wondering, if I wanted to make a different flavor cookie, would the egg and oil measurements remain the same, assuming the cake mix is the same number of ounces?
Hi Helen, yes you can mix any variety of cookie dough and ingredients. You can see some of my other variations of this recipe in my recipe section too. My Aunt Sheree taught me how to make these, and we love changing them up.
