Makes: 15 -20 cookies (depending on muffin mix package size)
Ingredients
- 8-10 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (see notes for amount)
- 1-2 packages muffin mix (see notes for sizes)
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes (if you don't have a mixer, you can use a bowl and wooden spoon/spatula).
- Mix egg and vanilla extract into the butter (don't worry if your mixture looks a little runny).
- Add the muffin mix to the butter mixture and mix until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- Scoop about 2 Tbsp of cookie dough (I use a #40 cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until cookies are just turning golden around the edges, but are still soft. Let cookies cool in the pan for a couple minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Here is how much butter you'll need for various size packages of muffin mix:
- If you have (2) 6.5 oz. bags (13 oz. total): 8 Tbsp butter (1 stick)
- If you have a 14.75 oz. box: 9 Tbsp butter
- If you have a 18.25 oz. box: 10 Tbsp butter
- If you only have one 6.5 oz bag, simply cut the recipe in half. Use 4 Tbsp butter and divide the egg in half by lightly whisking it in a bowl and only adding half of it to butter mixture.
