Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix 15.25 Ounces
2 Eggs Room Temperature
½ Cup Unsalted Butter Melted
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

For the Glaze

¼ Cup Unsalted Butter
½ Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Water
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions

For the Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. It will be thick and sticky.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto prepared pan. I used a 2 tablespoon (#40) scoop.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set and centers still look slightly underdone. Do not underbake.
Cool for 5 minutes on the pan.

For the Glaze

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and water.
Heat until sugar dissolves, but do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Spoon or brush glaze over slightly warm cookies.
Let sit 15-20 minutes to absorb. Enjoy!
