- Cookies
-
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, whisked eggs, and melted butter, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough will be thick.

- Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Bake for 7-8 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 4-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all the dough is baked.

-
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes.

-
- Allow the glaze to set before sprinkling with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
