cake mix cookies
It doesn't get much easier than this! Use any boxed cake mix. The ingredients can be mixed together faster than it takes to write down the recipe. These are moist, delicious cookies that allow you to be creative according to your taste buds. I was accused more than once of having 'bought' these cookies and trying to pass them off as my own. haha! The cookies in my photo are made from a lemon cake mix, with added Craisins... Lemon Cranberry Snaps. For the filler, you can use chocolate chips, Craisins, shredded carrots, toffee chips, nonpareils, etc to match the cake mix flavor.

Turn boxed cake mix into delicious ones with this cookie recipe. Once baked, the cookies are soft and tender. Fluffy, yet dense, they're thicker than a traditional cookie. What we love is that you can get creative with the cake mix and the fillings. We used vanilla extract, a mixture of milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, and 4 oz softened cream cheese for an elevated chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate and mint would be delicious for the holidays. Spice cake mix and shredded carrots are perfect for Easter.

How To Make cake mix cookies
-
1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, pour the cake mix. -
2In a small separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and extract.
-
3Stir cake mix and egg mixture together well with a good, sturdy wooden spoon or the like.
-
4The batter will be stiff ... do NOT add any extra fluids. It will come together; keep working the dry ingredients together.
-
5After the ingredients are well blended, stir in your favorite 'filler' - anything that will complement the flavor of the cake you are using. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator to stiffen up and be easier to handle.
-
6Using a small cookie scoop (the 1 Tbsp size), drop dough onto a cookie sheet about 2" apart.
-
7Bake for 9 - 10 minutes or until the cookies look 'crackled' across the top. Don't overbake! I like to set the timer for about 8-1/2 minutes and then watch them closely to see when they look crackled.
-
8When done, allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about a minute to allow sugars to harden. Remove with a small spatula to a cooling rack.
