1 (19 ounce) package pillsbury French vanilla cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (Crisco)
- 2 eggs
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375F2
Blend, cake mix, eggs, and oil until moistened. Roll into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a glass or cookie stamp.3
Bake at 375F for 6-8 minutes. Allow to cool 1 minute before removing to cooling rack.4
While the cookies are still a little warm, spread on some buttercream frosting. Allow the frosting to set up before storing.

Very easy to make. I don't think they taste like "lofthouse" cookies, but they do taste like good cake mix cookies. I used canned frosting to frost them. My teen boys devoured them and wanted more. Thanks for posting! Made for Tic Tac Toe Tag.

These get 4 stars for ease alone. I have made cake mix cookies before so I don't know why but the texture of these is a bit odd, but they are quite flavorful. Not really at all like lofthouse tho. I had the same problem as scrapbook cook with them still being doughy after 9 minutes so for the last batch I reduced the temp to 350 and baked them for 12 minutes and that took care of the problem. All in all they are simple and tasty so I will make them again I am sure. Made for PRMR Tag

Buddha's 2 kids and us really enjoyed these cookies. Only Bleu Gurl, his daughter, has ever had Lofthouse cookies, and said they tasted exactly like them. Rather than rolling the dough, I just dropped teaspoon-sized batter onto parchment paper, then tapped out the remaining oil from the measuring cup onto a clean counter area. I then smeared the bottom of the cup into it and used it to easily flatten the cookies and have less cleanup. Since there was no recipe for the frosting, I just added some blue (our favorite color) sugar sprinkles on top of each cookie before baking. I made a half batch and got 1 dozen cookies that took 10 minutes to fully bake. Thanks for posting this super simple recipe that we all enjoyed very much.

My daughter loves lofthouse cookies and I have it on her authority that these taste just like the real thing! I used Betty Crocker vanilla cake mix and broke up all the lumps before adding the other ingredients. I rolled mine into balls a little bigger than 1" and flattened to just a little more than 1/4". They baked up perfectly after 8 minutes; I frosted while still a little warm and they came out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
