Do you love to bake but just don't have enough time? Today's post is for you! A good boxed cake mix can be a total lifesaver that lets us have the best of both worlds; baking for our family and saving time!
Growing one of my friend's mom made these delicious cookies that we usually devoured when she would bring them to a church function. Every New Years Eve we would go to their house for a get together and there would be plates and plates of these cookies all over the house for everyone to enjoy. Years later I found out she made the cookies from a cake mix!
Tips for Making Cake Mix Cookies
- Ignore the directions and extra ingredients that you normally would follow from the back of the cake mix.
- Instead, follow the directions listed the particular recipe you want to make.
- Do not over-mix the batter.
- If the batter is too soft, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before placing on baking trays.
- Use silicon baking mats or parchment baking sheets on the baking trays to keep the cookies from sticking.
- Do not over-bake the cookies!
Tips for Storing and Freezing Cake Mix Cookies
- Once baked, store the cake mix cookies in air-tight containers for up to two weeks.
- To freeze the cookies, simply place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and "flash freeze" them until they are solid, around 30 to 60 minutes. This will help keep the cookies from sticking to each other.
- Then place the cookies in an air-tight container with parchment or waxed paper in between each layer to keep the cookies from sticking to each other.
- You can freeze the cookies this way for up to 3 months.

If you don't have parchment paper or silicone cookie mats, can you just use some non stick cooking spray on the cookie sheet?
Lois says
Of course! Or you can use aluminum foil sprayed with the non-stick cooking spray. Thanks for visiting.

Lois says
I always follow the directions on the back of the brownie mix box. If they came out too hard, you may need to cook them for less time than the box recommends. Thank you for visiting!
