Whenever I am in a pinch for time and need cookies I make cake mix cookies. I am such a fan of these super quick and delicious cookies (remember these?–really they are the best). Seriously in less time than it would take for you to go to the store to buy cookies you can bake these yummy cookies.

I am all about the cake mix. For sugar cookies I love Duncan Hines French Vanilla Moist Deluxe cake mix. For the Chocolate cookies I love Aldi’s Devil’s Food cake mix.
Cake Mix Sugar Cookies
.
1 Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 – 1/2 Cup canola oil (I used 1/2 cup this time. A 1/3 cup works great also -the batter is slightly more stiff so slightly flatten your balls)
.
Mix well and scoop (I use a 2 Tablespoon scoop) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 13 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Makes 20 cookies.
Yum!

Oh my frosting was from the plastic can — and by the way the one at Aldi’s is great!
We made these tonight. So, so good. Except my oil was a blend with olive oil in it…Maybe not such a good idea. Vegetable oil is probably best.
We wanted to know what recipe you used for the frosting. We mixed butter, powdered sugar and a splash of milk…Yours still looks creamier!
Thanks so much for the recipe.
You are my new favorite blog! Darling ideas!
I didn’t know about these and tried it. They were so easy!
These cookies saw me through years of last minute snacks for church, school, camp, last minute guests, or just a group of teens landing at our place for a few hours. Our faves are german chocolate cake mix with coconut, devils food cake mix with peanut butter chips, carrot cake mix with raisins, and butter cake mix with M&M’s in them…the possibilities are endless! Thanks for reminding me to pick up some cake mixes while they are on sail this week! Yummmmm!
Thanks for the recipe! Also, thanks so much for such a great site!
I had never made cake mix cookies before and I just made my first batch for Easter with a lemon cake mix. Yummy! Those frosted ones are calling my name… 🙂
These look delicious!! I am so making these!
Great stuff! Came by to tell you about my birthday give-away! COme by!
YUM! And so simple. Perfect for me!
Thanks!

I am gonna have to try this. My 2 year old always wants to help make anything so I think she could help with these without a ginormous mess. Thanks for all the good ideas.
Ok, just made them and they were delish! I just used a white cake mix since I figured it was the least likely to make it as a cake around here. So yummy!
Is it the same for the devil’s food cookies??
I can’t wait to make these!!
Wow! That sounds so quick and yummy! I am always picking up cake mixes, will try for sure!
Thanks!
