Cake Mix Cookies – An Easy Sugar Cookie Cheat Recipe

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.

Do you need a Weekly Menu Planner for your fridge? These save SO much time, and takes the guess out of “What’s for Dinner?”

Ingredients:

  • white cake mix (we used Pillsbury, but any brand will do)

  • white Hershey Kisses (cookies n cream or confetti flavored)

 

Directions:

  • Mix cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil using a stand mixer or hand mixer until combined and a soft dough forms.
  • Stick in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the dough to firm up just a bit.
  • Using a scooper or spoon, scoop out cookie dough and roll into about 1 inch sized balls.
  • Roll cookie dough balls into different colored sugar crystals and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
