Cake Mix Cookies are a great simple, yummy little treat to whip up for any occasion. They are completely versatile with add-in options of your choice. You can even made a gluten free versions.
Feel free to add chocolate chips, m&m’s, nuts, or sprinkles, etc.
My daughter wanted to make some Spring themed cake mix cookies for our first batch complete with sprinkles and Easter colored M&M’s.
Instead of following the directions on the cake mix box, you just combine the cake mix with ⅓ cup of canola oil and 2 eggs. Then roll into balls and press them down. Then pop them in the over for 7-8 minutes.
Don’t forget to grab your glass of cold milk!
