Don’t those look so tempting?<\/p>\n

I’m not much of a baker and when I do bake, it tends to be from a mix. It’s pretty hard to mess those up, but I have managed to do it a few times!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I felt like making cookies the other day and while I had the ingredients to make them from scratch, I was feeling lazy as usual. So I did a little searching and found an EASY recipe using a cake mix. I know the ones from scratch taste better, but these are great because they go together so quickly and can be customized for whatever flavors you feel like.<\/p>\n

Mix and Match Cookies<\/span><\/p>\n

1 box cake mix, any flavor – I used dark chocoloate
2 eggs
1\/3 cup oil
water, optional – I didn’t use it this time around
whatever mix-ins you want – I used a bar of pomegranate-flavored dark chocolate that I chopped<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take two cookie sheets and line with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

In a big bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. The dough will be very dense, add water if needed. Add your mix-ins.<\/p>\n

Chill mix in fridge for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Using a spoon, scoop out dough and roll in your hands until you make a ball about the size of a walnut. Place dough balls on cookie sheets. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, then take out and let cool.<\/p>\n

Most recipes I saw yielded about 24 cookies. I got 32, but my cookies were on the small side.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
