Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure that the cookies can be removed easily after baking.
-
Cookie Dough Preparation: In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix with the beaten eggs and melted butter. Stir the mixture vigorously until it achieves a uniform and smooth consistency.
-
Forming the Cookies: Utilize a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to portion the dough, arranging each scoop on the prepared baking sheet, spaced approximately 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
-
Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. The cookies should be removed from the oven while still soft to the touch; they will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
-
Cooling: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes post-baking, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Glaze Preparation: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous, approximately 4-5 minutes.
-
Applying the Glaze: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over each cookie, allowing it to set before proceeding.
-
Finishing Touches: After the glaze has set, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
