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!

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

ReplyDeleteI'm working on it! Really!
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? :)
My favorite is using lemon cake mix. :)
