Cookies Made From Cake Mix

[cookielady]

I've always made cookies from scratch, but someone recently told me that cookies made from cake mixes are delicious and much easier. Does anyone have a recipe that they have used with good results? I would like to try making these cookies and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

I have not heard of this before. I have heard of cookie mixes. They are basically the same design as cake mixes but for cookies not cake..

Thank you, pdgcookie, for the cake mix cookie recipe. It sounds great and easy, too! I like the idea of being able to vary the recipe with nuts, chips, dried fruit, etc. I also appreciate the hint about adding a little more water for softer cookies. Thanks, again! I'll be trying it soon!!

My mom was the first person who ever made cookies out of a cake mix... I thought she was brilliant!!!

Thank you for that recipe... I haven't been able to find one for a while!
