EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES
Have you ever made Cake Mix cookies?
Cake Mix cookies are all of the craze right now. And for good reason!
They are REALLY good. It isn’t just a crazy fad. After seeing many post about this topic, I had to try it out.
You guys, they are so moist and fluffy! I even went and bought more cake mix to try a different take on it later on.
I used a Pillsbury Vanilla cake mix - but you can use any cake mix you would like. (You can usually find cake mixes on sale for $1 or less.)
I tried the Snickerdoodle version - who doesn’t love a good snickerdoodle.
