I had never even heard of using a cake mix to make cookies until last year when I came across a recipe for “homemade Oreos“. I made them with peppermint frosting and I was hooked. They were SO easy to make and I loved that I didn’t have to have a bunch of different ingredients on hand. Little did I know, there was a whole book of cookies that can be made with a box of cake mix!
Drop cookies, bar cookies, thumbprint cookies, whoopies pies, biscotti and more can all be made with a recipe short cut: boxed cake mix. The Ultimate Cake Mix Cookie Book features more than 375 cookie recipes that begin with a box of cake mix. In this revised second edition which contains more than 200 brand new recipes, you’ll learn how to whip up a batch of homemade cookies without the effort of cooking completely from scratch. Stock up your pantry with a variety of cake mixes and you’ll always be prepared to make a batch of delicious cookies. If Caramel Latte Whoopie Pies, Strawberry Cream Cheese Thumbprints and Triple Chocolate Gooey Bars have your mouth watering you’ll want to pick up a copy of The Ultimate Cake Mix Cookie Cookbook.
Here’s a recipe from the book that you can try:
The inspiration for these cookies sprang from my own coffee obsession: I love vanilla lattes, so
why not recreate them in cookie form? I don’t think I need to suggest the perfect accompanying
beverage…
