Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Then grease your cookie sheet, line with parchment or use a silicone baking mat.
In a bowl add your cake mix, egg, and oil to a bowl. Mix with a whisk or a hand mixer until a dough forms.
Add your granulated sugar to a plate.
Use a cookie scoop and roll your cookie dough into balls and then roll into the sugar and place on the cookie sheet. Leave space between each cookie.
Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are fully cooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven, and then use the cookie scoop to press in the center of the cookies. I just use the back side of the spoon.
Once the cookies are cooled completely, you will add some of your raspberry jam in the center of the cookies.
