The best cookies ever!

Not only are these Cake Mix Cookies the best cookies ever, they're also the easiest cookies to make. There are only 5 ingredients! If someone asks me to bring a dessert to something, these are the cookies I'm bringing. Make them for yourself and you'll see why!



Here are the ingredients: 1 box cake mix (pretty much any flavor but Classic Yellow is still my favorite), 1 stick of butter, 1 package cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat, gotta watch my figure), 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla



Cream together the butter and cream cheese until nice and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Dump in the cake mix and beat until just mixed. (Don't worry about tiny clumps of cake mix, it happens.)



Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a non greased cookie sheet. I top them with some sprinkles, just cause it's fun. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.



Cool on a wire rack and enjoy! See how easy that was?



The cookies are delicious but I think my cat's more interested in that glass of milk!


Cake Mix Cookies
(makes about 4 dozen)

1 box Classic Yellow Cake Mix (I've also tried Red Velvet and Pineapple)
1 stick butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sprinkles (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together butter and cream cheese until nice and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and mix. Dump in cake mix and beat until just mixed. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Top with sprinkles if desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Enjoy with a glass of milk!

If you want the full yellow cake experience, top with your favorite chocolate frosting! Red velvet cookies with cream cheese frosting is also delish!

    Anyway, I wanted to say that this is such a cute blog - I love love love blogs with recipes! Eric loves homecooking and so do I - as long as I have new recipes to try (which I often get from the long list of blogs I frequent!). I'll be back often to see what you put up! Oh, and I love your blog name. Are you a lolcat fan too? :)
