Super easy super yummy cookies

I know it may sound like I've been living under a baking rock when I say I had never heard of, let alone baked cake mix cookies until a few weeks ago. I guess that's not entirely true... bakerella mentioned cake mix cookies around valentines day, but i SERIOUSLY had never heard of them before then! So a few weeks ago I did some research and came up with my own super easy cake mix cookie recipe and Sean and I loved them. And I am not kidding they are SUPER easy.

All you need: 1 box cake mix (whatever flavor you like), 1 stick butter at room temperature, 2 eggs, and one tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Its always nice if you have a helper monkey ;)
Mix your ingredients and then form into balls. Its a pretty thick batter so I recommend using a hand mixer or a stand mixer. And the dough is pretty sticky so if you don't have a silpat you should definitely grease your cookie sheet or line with parchment or SOMETHING.

Then bake at 350 for 9-13 mins. The first time I made these, the cookies were about twice as big, and I baked for the full 13mins, but this time I wanted miniatures and I was able to bake for only 9 mins. Be careful with how you position them because they spread out quite a bit.



They are great to eat just like this, but I let them cool completely (which doesn't take too long) and made little sandwiches with left over frosting from cake balls. ENJOY!
