Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packs muffin mix (any flavor—blueberry, chocolate chip, banana nut, etc.)
- 1 large egg
- 1 stick (1/2 cup or 113 grams) butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-Ins:
- Chocolate chips
- Dried fruit
- Nuts
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat to ensure easy cookie release.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, amalgamate the muffin mix packages with egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, creating a cohesive, thick dough.
- Incorporate optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit, gently folding them throughout the mixture to distribute evenly.
- Utilize a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining approximately 2 inches of space between each dollop.
- Delicately flatten each dough portion using fingertips or the back of a spoon to create uniform cookie shapes.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges while understanding the center will appear soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling them to firm up and stabilize.
- Carefully transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely to achieve optimal texture and flavor.
- Serve and enjoy, whether sharing with little ones or indulging in a personal treat.
Notes
- Swap muffin mix for gluten-free blend to accommodate dietary restrictions and create celiac-friendly treats.
- Experiment with alternative egg replacements like mashed banana or applesauce for vegan baking options.
- Adjust butter quantity slightly for softer or crispier texture depending on personal preference.
- Chill dough for 15 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain compact cookie shape.
