WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE CARROT CAKE COOKIES WITH CAKE MIX?
- Carrot cake mix
- Canola oil or vegetable oil
- Eggs

HOW DO YOU MAKE COOKIES WITH CAKE MIX?
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour the carrot cake mix into a large bowl.
Add in ⅓ cup of oil.
Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the bowl.
Mix until all the ingredients have been thoroughly combined.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the cookie dough and place the cookie dough on the cookie sheet a few inches apart.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. You'll want to remove these before they completely firm up. This way they will stay soft later.
After you remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes and then move them to a baking rack to cool.
