1-Preheat the oven: Preheat to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.

2-Combine dry ingredients: Stir cake mix and dry pudding mix until evenly blended.

3-Add wet ingredients: Mix in melted butter and eggs just until a thick dough forms; do not overmix.

4-Chill the dough: If sticky, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firmer and easier to scoop.

5-Scoop the cookies: Drop 1.5-tablespoon dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.

6-Flatten if desired: Gently press each ball to flatten slightly for thinner, crispier edges.

7-Bake the cookies: Bake 8–11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone.

8-Rest on the pan: Cool on the hot baking sheet for 2–3 minutes to finish setting.

9-Cool and serve: Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
