Ingredients
2 packs of muffin mix (any flavor—blueberry, chocolate chip, banana nut, etc.)
1 large egg (adds structure and a little extra protein!)
1 stick of butter (½ cup, melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
Optional Mix-Ins: Chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, or sprinkles.
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 packs of muffin mix, 1 egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Stir until everything is well combined and a thick dough forms.
If you’re adding mix-ins (like chocolate chips or dried fruit), fold them in now.
3. Scoop & Shape
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
4. Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
The cookies will still look soft in the center, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
5. Cool & Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve to your little ones (or sneak a few for yourself—no judgment here!).
