Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of premium white cake mix
- 2 large eggs (thoroughly beaten)
- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure that the cookies can be removed easily after baking.
- Step 2: Cookie Dough Preparation: In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix with the beaten eggs and melted butter. Stir the mixture vigorously until it achieves a uniform and smooth consistency.
- Step 3: Forming the Cookies: Utilize a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to portion the dough, arranging each scoop on the prepared baking sheet, spaced approximately 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Step 4: Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. The cookies should be removed from the oven while still soft to the touch; they will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Step 5: Cooling: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes post-baking, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Step 6: Glaze Preparation: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Step 7: Applying the Glaze: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over each cookie, allowing it to set before proceeding.
- Step 8: Finishing Touches: After the glaze has set, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
