QUICK & EASY CAKE MIX COOKIE RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 1 box of cake mix (any flavor will do but we love chocolate!)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.

Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 350˚F.

Next, gather all your ingredients and add them together in a large mixing bowl. Use a mixer to combine well. The dough should be thick and sticky.

Spoon out the dough and evenly place onto a cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop similar to this one and it makes the perfect size cookie!

For fun, we usually add holiday sprinkles. This time we added some fun Halloween sprinkles but I have made these for Christmas & Valentine’s Day treats as well! Add the sprinkles to the scooped dough before baking.

Finally, bake the cookie for about 10 minutes (depending on your oven you may need to make adjustments). This recipe should make about two dozen cookies.

Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
