You can add 2 eggs and 1/2 a cup of oil to turn any cake mix into cookie dough.

When I buy a box of cake mix like that, I typically do not end up baking a full-size cake. I eat a good third of the prepared mix first...

CHOCOLATE. CHOCOLATE!!!
CassandraWaldrope
YUP!!
Bichesluvreptar
DO YOU FUCKING SEE THAT CAKE? WHY WOULDNT YOU WANT THAT IN YOU?
Clitterblob
this makes me happy.
TedRube
Is dat u Pintrest?
Mathak
DOES NO ONE IN HERE FUCKING BAKE FROM SCRATCH?! Cake mixes are god right awful.

You could also add: chocolate chips, light brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract and salt into flour and make cookie dough.
doritobandito84
It took me a while to figure out that those were actually several cookies and not two powdered turds
mavi222
Why don't you just make your own, homemade? Like.. eggs, flour and stuff D:
mccallsopinion1
My mom makes these! She calls them snap cookies!
CostumeNerd
Oh Snap!
maggiethecat
yep! A mediocre cookie dough is yours in an instant!

Works well with lemons! www.lemonparty.org

I almost clicked that with a child right behind me when this was first going around but then I realized it must be a trick. Glad I didn't.
CopperWench
This changes EVERYTHING!
Alpha32768
Includes real chocolate. Now that's a weird thing to put on a chocolate cake box :D
MonserrSans2
I do this all the time and it's better than cookie dough IMO. Try red velvet cake mix and add cream cheese frosting, you won't regret it.
geoffreythehamster
The cake to cookie ratio is off here guys..
LurkerFrag
These are the survivors after the horrible attack as they were leaving the oven.
Slappynote
I did what you said, but now my cookies taste like motor oil. Why is that?
tinyhandstinyfeet
Sometimes I don't mind when Pinterest leaks onto Imgur
CostumeNerd
How long do you bake them though?
CopperWench
Standard oven temp is usually 350F but baking time always varies for cookies depending on your oven and how crispy you prefer. Test times.
BothersomeGoulash
350F for 8-10 min
FlyingButtPliers
that sounds yummy, but I worry this is the bakers version of waterproof phone updates.
wahchoolookinat
Nope it works. Just don't use a mixer when you mix it. And apparently strawberry cake mix is the best...tho I will stick with chocolate :)
RobotCosmonaut
It's not. They're delicious and you can use almost any cake mix. Drawback is all the snobby bakers will get snitty with you
smeegasaurusrex
Nope I do it all the time. I add a box of instant pudding mix too though. My daughter and step daughters love it. 1/2
smeegasaurusrex
There's actually a Betty Crocker cook book that tells you how to "jazz up" cake mixes & that's where I got it from.
thebronzecat
Half a cup of oil? Who are you? BP?
argo12
not a lot in a standard cookie recipe. I cup of butter = 1 cup oil. Same stuff, just runnier.
awildcharmander
That's what I was thinking. That's a shit load of oil! haha.
moechtekaese
Why buy a mix in the first place? Who hasn't got flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and cocoa in the pantry?
digisol
me
Jampee
Ugh This is why I hate pinterest, click on a recipe and it says to use a box. Im in the UK theyre expensive!
moechtekaese
Okay, eggs, I get it. Look in the freezer.
smeegasaurusrex
For some people it's hard.. I don't understand why.. but it is.
smeegasaurusrex
Plus when you have 3 kids running around the house sometimes it's just easier to use a box. I've done it a lot and they love them.
WhyWouldiProcreate
Because if I'm baking a wedding cake for 250 people I know I need a specific amount of batter for each layer, I then know how much my mix p1
WhyWouldiProcreate
Renders. Then I can calculate how many I need instead of using every bride's grandma's chocolate cake recipe and having to guess how many p2
WhyWouldiProcreate
Batches I need to make. P3
lifeofmusic96
Am I the only one who actually bakes anything from scratch?!… that box stuff is shit compared to homemade!
vanillamellow
tru dat
isthisthereallifeorjustafantasea
Not much of a baker myself, but you are 100% right. No one knows how to cook anymore. Women used to make biscuits from scratch EVERY MORNING
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Spice/carrot cookies with cream cheese frosting. Funfetti cookies. Oh yes.
odinsmama
Also red velvet. 2 words...cookie sandwiches.
misstania
yes funfetti.... i know what i'm bringing for thanksgiving dessert!
pirate89RAWR
Mmm. I make pumpkin cookies from scratch & cream cheese frosting is the most delicious stuff ever.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Truth.
aFilthyFish
Thanks Pinterest.
ReapTheBarry
Thanks Obama
RobotCosmonaut
They've been putting this recipe on cake mix boxes for years. I've been making cookies this way since before pinterest existed.
UvaroviteKing
I'm getting real tired of these pinterest type posts making the front page. Thos post belongs somewhere else. Yes I'm being THAT guy.
LawlessWalrus
Cake batter... Cookie dough... It's all better uncooked anyway.
catmanuel
Fresh off the spoon, just like ma used to make
Flyndaran
Unless you believe the hype about salmonella. Like fish are related to chickens.... I joke.
AbsolutionJailor
Rocky and Gaston ate raw eggs every morning. I think I'll take my chances.
Coryosity
Nobody eats eggs like Gaston.
MutilatedMelon
For eggs, I think the chances were something like 1 in 80,000

Remember when everyone wanted the favourites to be a thing?

Stop trying to make favorites a thing. It's never going to be a thing.

"favorites" will remember randomly in a week at 3AM

This holds so true I didn't even know I'd ever seen it but had it already favorited.

Here's your reminder
everydayisfridayhere
I like to think that one day, possibly a few years from now, I'll check my favorites and be pleasantly (or horrifically) surprised.
kinkythegiraffe0
Check it
allonsybadwolf
I'm just waiting for imgur to introduce some sort of system to organize my favorites into categories. Right now it's just a clusterfuck.
6InchColdCutOnWhite
But if I wanted cookie dough I'd buy cookie dough
SerialKitten666
Yeah that and the fact that this recipe is commonly listed on the box...
Skelezombiewolfensteinmonsteresquirethethird
But think of all the new and exciting flavours!
lesbianyellowsourfruit
.... why has no one mentioned that you can just make cookie dough? seriously its not hard
houseofballoons
I've never seen chocolate flavored cookie dough at the grocery store. Then again I live in poverty
embot
Here's a downvote, Downer.
RobotCosmonaut
These aren't just regular cookies, though! And when's the last time you saw red velvet cookie dough?!
themoff
Damn.
LittleWolfiee
Dude. That idea was revolutionary.
yellowrock
Red velvet cookies was the exact idea I had when I saw this post.
RobotCosmonaut
They're wonderful! Good with powdered sugar on them too

It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. That's why I don't go out there. I stay in here where it's a man-eat-chocolate-cake world.
Eonymia
" I try not to go out unnecessarily. You want to know what happened the last time I went out without hours of planning?"
Eonymia
"I was outside. I can't remember what I was doing. Something. Standing? Maybe wondering how I got there."
Eonymia
"And then, out of nowhere, it happened."

It's a doggy-dog world, but for all intensive purposes tidbits like this are a diamond dozen. Do respect, pinterest is no gold mind of info.

I hole-hardedly agree. Unfortunately, it seems like some people have zero taller ants for this kind of thing.
