Karlynn’s Quick Tip

These cake mix cookies are a perfect example of why I keep a large selection of brownie mixes, cake mixes, and assorted goodies in my pantry. Cake mixes make it easy to whip up a fast cookie recipe when you have little time or are in a rush.

  • Remove from the oven and cool on baking sheets completely.
