There’s something so wonderfully simple about cake mix cookies, and these Dolly Parton Cake Cookies make it even sweeter. Made with a box of Dolly Parton cake mix, this recipe keeps things easy while delivering big flavor. You’re just a few ingredients away from soft, chewy cookies that taste like they came straight from a country kitchen.

All you need is the cake mix (coconut or vanilla will both work!), two eggs, and a stick of room temperature butter. That’s it for the base. Stir everything together until just combined, then fold in the sweetened shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor. It’s the kind of recipe you can whip up on a weeknight without a second thought.

Once your dough is ready, scoop it onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing the cookies about two inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes. You’re looking for lightly golden edges and soft centers. They may look slightly underdone in the middle, but they’ll finish setting up as they cool, giving you that perfectly chewy bite.

After the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. With such simple ingredients and reliable results, Dolly Cake Cookies are proof that sometimes the easiest recipes are the ones we come back to again and again.
