Basic Cake Mix Cookies & Cake/Pudding Mix Cookies image

As a total baking novice, there is nothing I love more than finding super simple, yet still delish, baking recipes. I've seen so many wonderful recipes here on JAP for cookies made with cake mix, or a combination of cake and pudding mix, I was inspired to make up some of my own combinations. But, since baking is not my strong...

CAKE MIX COOKIES
1 box cake mix (18.25 oz), any flavor
1-2 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil or softened butter
2 Tbsp water (if using a chocolate cake mix)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or another flavor you like; for unflavored cakes like white or yellow)
12 oz baking chips of your choice (optional)
3/4 c nuts, dried fruit, mini marshmallows, etc. (optional, use your imagination)
CAKE & PUDDING MIX COOKIES #1
1 box cake mix (18.25 oz), any flavor
1 box instant pudding mix (3.4 oz), any flavor
1 c sour cream
2 large eggs
- your choice of mix-ins
CAKE & PUDDING MIX COOKIES #2
1 box cake mix (18.25 oz), any flavor
1 box instant pudding mix (3.4 oz), any flavor
1/2 c vegetable oil or softened butter
3-1/2 Tbsp water
- your choice of mix-ins
BASIC GLAZE (MAKES APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP)
2 c confectioner's sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (or your choice of flavors); or orange, lemon, or lime juice
3 Tbsp milk (or water if you are using citrus juice)
- food coloring (optional)
- citrus zest (optional; since i prefer to use fresh juice, i usually add a bit of the zest as well)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350f.
  • 2. Blend wet ingredients. Add dry mix(es) and blend well, removing any lumps. Add mix-ins if using. (If using pudding mix, note that the dough will be sticky.)
  • 3. Drop cookie mix by teaspoonful, one inch apart, onto greased or lined cookie sheets.
  • 4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes depending on how crispy you want the cookies. Shorter time for soft, longer time for crispy.
  • 5. Arrange cookies on racks to cool. Frost or glaze if desired. (To make glaze, mix sugar and extract/juice in a bowl. Add water/milk until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring if desired.) If you are glazing, consider adding colored sugar or sprinkles for a festive touch. (My kids love that part!) Let the cookies dry completely before packaging or storing.
  • 6. **Took my kids shopping to pick out their mix-ins and they had a blast! We will be making our cookies tomorrow and will post pictures then. Here are some of the combinations we came up with: -Strawberry cake with vanilla pudding and vanilla chips -Spice cake with butterscotch pudding, butterscotch and cinnamon chips -Yellow cake with chocolate pudding, peanut butter and chocolate chips -White cake with chocolate pudding and mint chips -White cake with chocolate pudding, peanut butter and butterscotch chips -Vanilla cake with white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and almonds -Lemon cake with dried blueberries and orange glaze

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cake mix. I always have a box or two in my pantry, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it.
