Equipment

  • Oven
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl and Utensils
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 18.25 ounce vegan cake mix box (If you have a 15 oz box like me add ¼ a cup of all-purpose flour.)
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil
  • 2 flax egg (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp of water.)
  • 3 tbsp sugar (This is an optional ingredient for aesthetics more than taste.)

Instructions

  • Prepare your flax egg by mixing 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken up. 
  • When the flax egg is ready you can mix in the cake mix, oil, and flax eggs. 
  • Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to make rolling the dough out easier as it’s quite sticky.
  • Preheat your oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the dough is chilled roll 2 tablespoons worth of dough into balls.
  • Optional Step: If you’d like you can roll the dough ball in sugar and it will add a unique crunch to the outside and make the cookies more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Place the dough balls around 2 inches apart on the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooking. 
  • Once cooled you serve the cookies alone or with your favorite non-dairy milk.
  • These cookies will store in an airtight container for 5 days.
