Cake Mix Cookies

Over break my brother told me I should start a blog where I share recipes and pictures of items I have baked. I wasn't sure at first but after some convincing from him and one of my best friends I decided to start a blog. It is titled An Abundance of Sprinkles because I have tons of sprinkles and am constantly buying them. My mom is even considering buying me a spice rack so I have a way to store all of my sprinkles.

So over break around Christmas time some of the parents of my mom's students baked her Chirtmas cookies. However, not all of them were good, in fact most of them were terrible! Now I know that many professional chefs say anyone can cook. I DO NOT agree with that! Some people should be banned from baking cookies. (of course this is just my opinion, which I'm entitled to so don't get offended if you're one of those bad bakers.) The most popular cookie my mom recved was the Cake Mix Cookie. But every last one of them was terrible. These cookies are so simple to make and yet people just can't seem to make them correctly. So the first recipe I will share with you is my recipe for Cake Mix Cookies.
For cake mix cookies you can use any flavor you would like. And you decorate them with sprinkles!



Cake Mix Cookies

1 (18.9-oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Cake Mix (any flavor)
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 (15.6-oz.) can Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Vanilla Frosting (any flavor)



Heat oven to 375. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until throughly moistened. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip then bottom of a glass in flour and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness.

Bake 6-8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown color. Cool on the cookie sheet for a minute and then place on a wire rack.

Spread frosting on warm cookies. Decorate with sprinkles if you prefer. Let the frosting set before placing the cookies in an air tight container.

Enjoy! :)
