Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Who has ever cheated? Raise your hand. I confess, I am a cheater. Not on taxes or my husband mind you but in the kitchen. We all have done it, right? Purchased items from the salad bar only to fix it with a few other ingredients to call it your own or opened a can or jar of something, added a few fresh items and called it dinner. I do it out of convenience, lack of planning, and laziness. What's your excuse?
The other day I needed some quick "homemade" cookies for my kids' lunch boxes. I could have taken out all the ingredients to make some real homemade ones but it was late, I was tired, and I didn't want to deal with the mess. Solution: Cake Mix Cookies. As much as I love to make my cakes or any baked goods from scratch, I do keep a few mixes on hand for emergencies. The cookies baked up beautifully and can be made with whatever flavor of mix and additions you like. I used yellow cake mix and chocolate chips.
