These keto cake mix cookies have just three ingredients: mix them together, bake them, and decorate! It’s that easy!
What Are Cake Mix Cookies
Just like the name implies, cake mix cookies are cookies made from cake mix. And you don’t have to do anything special to them.
There are three simple ingredients, you mix them, and then bake them. I used keto-friendly yellow cake mix but if you find another flavor that you want to try, use it!
I didn’t add any mix-ins or decorate them with frosting. But there are a lot of different ways to change these cookies and make them your own.
Keep reading and I’ll share my best tips. Or, scroll down to the recipe and get baking!
Shopping List
Before you make a batch of keto cake mix cookies, this is what you’ll need from the store. All of the exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Vanilla Keto Yellow Cake Mix
- Oil
- Eggs
- Keto-Friendly Sprinkles
The best type of oil to use on the keto diet is coconut oil but you can also use avocado oil. I don’t recommend baking with extra virgin olive oil.
Best Keto Cake Mix
There are a bunch of keto-friendly cake mixes out there! It can be a tad confusing about which ones to use.
I suggest reading the ingredients list first. Then, choose the cake mix that has ingredients you feel best about eating.
My top three cake mixes are from King Arthur, Duncan Hines, and FitBake. King Arthur Yellow cake mix has just 2 gram net carbs in each serving and is made with erythritol and coconut flour.
Duncan Hines is made with a combination of almond and coconut flour and fortified with chicory root fiber to get the net carbs lower.
FitBake is made with almond and coconut flour and has 11 grams sugar alcohols, which brings the net carbs per serving down to 1 gram.
More Keto Desserts
It’s ok to have a sweet tooth, you just have to make keto desserts with low-carb ingredients. I have a bunch of recipes that you can choose from.
If you’re going to serve these cookies at a party, then make some of these desserts with them. If you like chocolate chips, make some keto pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
For a stronger chocolate flavor, make keto chocolate chip cookie dough muffins. Or make some basic keto chocolate muffins – everyone loves them.
How To Store Cookies
The best way to store cookies is to keep the air off of them and keep them at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for about a week.
You can freeze them, too. Wrap each cookie in parchment paper and store them in a freezer-safe food storage bag or container. They will stay fresh in the freezer for six months.
Making Them
Here are the step-by-step pictures of the process that you’ll follow to make these keto cake mix cookies. All of the ingredients and instructions are located in the printable recipe card just a little bit further below.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the cake mix, oil and eggs to a mixing bowl, and whisk to combine well.
Form the mixture into 18 evenly sized balls, and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Place the cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets, and top with the sprinkles if using.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until just lightly browned on the bottom. Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
