development Cookies With Cake Mix
Have you ever turned a cake mix into cookies? Did you know it was inherent to make homemade cookies from cake mix? As a mostly from scratch baker, recipes for cake mix cookies had escaped my attention. But recently, I began experimenting with them in the name of kitchen science.
And now I am discovering creative cake mix cookie recipes anywhere I look. You can make cookies from any mix flavor you choose. The options are endless. There are hundreds of recipes for bar cookies, drop cookies, rolled cookies, and shaped cookies from which to choose.
Cookies
When I mentioned to my mom and grandmother that I was having fun trying out cookies with a mix, my grandmother said that one of her neighbors makes all her cookies that way and it was hard to tell them from scratch.
Why Use Cookie Recipes that start with boxed mix? Are cookies made from mixes for everyone? Probably not. If you are an experienced baker who believes in baking only from scratch, they won't be for you.
But, if you love baking shortcuts and the convenience of boxed mixes, they are worth a closer look.
Cake Mix Cookies are excellent for:
Helping fresh bakers build their confidence.
Busy home bakers who like easy cookie recipes with short ingredient lists and minimal equipment.
Baking with kids since there is less mixing and measuring to do.
When the pantry is bare and/or money is short. You can normally pick up cake mix on sale for or less.
When you want homemade cookies in a hurry.
Tips for Cookie Baking Success
Read the method all the way before starting to bake and succeed the directions closely.
Don't over mix the cookie dough.
Only drop cookies on cool cookie sheets; never warm.
Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Don't over bake your cookies. They should be set around the edges, but still a bit soft on top.
Cool your cookies completely, before storing them so they don't get soggy.
Some of the delicious cake mix cookies I've discovered so far comprise recipes for:
Applesauce Cookies
Banana Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
German Chocolate Cookies
M&M Cookies
