These are so easy and fast. You can dress them up or down or whatever you want. Try different flavors of cake mixes with different mix-ins. Either way, you can't beat fresh, hot cookies.
Cake Mix Cookies
1 boxed cake mix, dry
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
Mix everything together until blended. Scoop by tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 7 - 9 minutes, just until set.
Variations:
Oreos - use chocolate cake mix (double fudge if possible). Put two cookies together with Cream Cheese Filling: Cream 1/2 c. cream cheese with 1/2 c. powdered sugar and 1 T. vanilla. This should be very stiff.
Chocolate Chip - Use white or yellow cake mix and add 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Lemon Cream - use lemon cake mix. Frost with lemon glaze: mix 1 c. powdered sugar, 1 T. lemon juice, and 1/4 c. softened butter. Add water if needed to thin it out.
White chocolate, macadamia, cranberry - use yellow cake mix. Add 1 c. white chocolate chips, 1/2 c. chopped macadamias, and 1/2 c. Craisins.
Cherry Nut - use cherry cake mix. Add 1/2 c. chopped maraschino cherries and 1/2 c. chopped pecans.

i like these as do the boys. =) Though I don't do it too often as I think they sometimes turn out a bit salty. I'd have to did a cake mix box out of the trash to be sure, but I think they tend to not skimp on sodium. =P But great flavor! And I'll probalby not kill over considering I do them about two times a year. =)
ReplyDeleteThey are saltier than my normal cookies. But for a quick and easy, they're great. Plus you can add whatever you want. I forgot to mention the 1/2 c. coconut in some versions.
