Cake Mix Cookies
I usually love winter but this year, I’m just sick of it. I’m so ready for Spring and summer. Fresh dirt and green grass. Easter lillies. Grilling. Swimming. Nights around a firepit. Yesssss. It all sounds like heaven to me. I’m sure come July/August, I’ll be begging for cooler weather…but that’s how it goes. Right?!
I’ve got a fun “cheater cheater pumpkin eater” recipe to share with you today. It’s included in a new 12 Days of Easter Recipes and Crafts series that I’m participating in with some blog friends of mine. These sugar cookies are made using a cake mix. These make for really soft in the middle, chewy around the edges, GOODNESS. Just pure goodness. Since Easter is around the corner and since I have a ton of sugar crystals…might as well make pretty sugar cookies. These cake mix cookies are such an easy cheat for sugar cookies.
