Let me start off by saying, this is probably one of my new favorite cookie recipes. It's been showing up everywhere, spreading like wildfire and for good reason! Because it's so easy!
Ok, here's the deal. It's made with cake mix!!
What?!?!?!
Yes! I feel they may belong in a semi-homemade category. But, once they are finished and you taste their cake-like fluffiness, you may never want to bother with regular cookies again!
They're amazing!
Easy Fluffy Cake Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 box of cake mix
- 1 stick of butter softened
- 1 (8oz) package of cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
- powdered sugar for dusting
Start off by beating together the butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Then, add in the cake mix of your choice. Combine well, cover and chill for about an hour. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. After they have had time to chill, roll into 1 inch balls. Toss them in powdered sugar (this is optional) and place on a greased cookie sheet about an inch and a half apart from each other. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. It yields about 2 and a half dozen cookies.

I really had a lot of fun with this recipe! I changed it up a few times and each time they came out tasting really good. I love how they fluff up like cake too! I think my favorite were the carrot cake. My friend Michael told me that the strawberries and cream version looked like little brains! Those may be cute for Halloween! You can really harness your creativity when it comes to these! When you pull them out of the oven they are super soft and perfect for pressing candy into. I put M&M's on top of my Devil's food cake cookies! Have fun with it! Experiment with your favorite cake mixes! Hope you love these as much as I do!
Iced Carrot Cake, My Favorite!
