Foodie Friday! - Confetti Cake Mix Cookies

I had forgotten all about this recipe.  I'm not even sure what reminded me of it.  Years ago a coworker always brought "Cake Mix Cookies" for potlucks.  They are quick to make (you know I'm all about quick recipes) and are delicious.  What makes them really fun is that you can make pretty much any flavor you want. We had both lemon and confetti cake mixes on hand.  In the end, the kid in my won out.  I love confetti cake mix!

If you are looking for an easy recipe to do with the kids this summer, this is the one!  The recipe has 3 ingredients. I used my mixer and within just a couple of minutes the dough was ready to be put on the cookie sheet.  If your little ones don't have the patience and attention span to do a full blown cookie recipe (like me)  this one will be fun, fast and rewarding!

Here's the recipe.

Cake Mix Cookies

1 box cake mix, pick a flavor (I used Hy-Vee Extra Moist Confetti)

2 eggs

1/2 cup oil

Put all ingredients in mixer bowl and blend  until it pulls together and forms a cookie-type dough.  Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  I found 12 minutes was perfect for my oven. I removed them from the oven and let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.  

The cookie possibilities are endless. 

Double chocolate chip (chocolate cake mix and stir in chocolate chips)

Chocolate with white chocolate chips

Chocolate with peanut butter chips

White cake mix with chocolate chips

Yellow cake mix with chocolate chips
Cherry cake...

Add in a few nuts or whatever will work with the mix you use.  

Use your imagination!

I got 27 large cookies out of this batch.  


Happy Friday!
