I love to bake this time of year, but I pretty much only stick to pink cookies. The chocolate chip bar cookies I made over the weekend were just to give some chocolate variety. But those pink cookies? They are delicious! And strawberry! And made from every woman's secret homemaking weapon...the boxed cake mix.
You've probably had these before. They taste great from a chocolate cake mix, but my favorite is strawberry, which is what those happy pink cookies all in a row up there are made from. If you use a cherry cake mix, they taste similar to Collin Street Bakery cherry ice box cookies (that's my hometown, world-famous bakery), and they're also pink.
{Yay, pink.}
An often forgotten about, super easy, perfect for Valentine's Day recipe to make. YUM.

Cake Mix Cookies
1 (18.25 oz.) box of your preferred flavor cake mix
1 egg
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet. I used parchment for the first time ever to bake these, and I wanted to hug the genius who invented it. They bake for around 15 minutes. Mine made about 2 dozen so I grabbed a second box and made more.

I should totally make these for Thatcher's teachers. Looks like I know what I am doing Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I was thinking of doing the same thing for Jack's Sunday school teachers!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever made them with cool whip? It's a cake mix (I prefer strawberry or lemon), 2 eggs, and 4oz cool whip. Mix together, then stick in freezer for about 20 minutes. Roll in balls, roll in powdered sugar, bake on greased cookie sheet for 7-8 minutes at 350. Oh so yummy and fluffy with the cool whip! :)
ReplyDeleteI have all of those ingredients in the kitchen right now, and I will have to try it!
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteI never comment, but you are in my google reader and I enjoy reading your blog. We've met - I helped with Sherry's baby shower as well. Anyhow, wanted to tell you that Owen (my 3 yr old) and I just made your cookies and they were fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
I totally know who you are. Thanks for saying hi! Hope you enjoy them!
DeleteWho cares in Valentines Day is gone. I made these tonight and they are so good and so easy. I may never make cookies from scratch again. Thanks for the tip and so great to see you yesterday. xo!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, they are for all year long. The chocolate are really good too!
DeleteSo good to see you!!!
This is on my list this year for our school party! (Yes, we here in the middle of no-where still get to have school parties!) Thanks for sharing!
