Cake Mix Cookies

Box Cake Mix Cookies

These might feel a little like cheating, but since we don't all have the same 24 hours in a day, sometimes we need a quick option. These cookies only need a box of cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. I cannot stress just how easy these are. Perfect if you have a box of cake mix sitting around in the pantry, or maybe you have surprise guests and want to serve something sweet super quickly. This is the recipe.
