There is something about cake cookies that make them extra delicious. They create such a chewy texture. My favorite part has to be the initial taste of powdered sugar when you go to take a bite. Who doesn’t love powdered sugar!
I keep cake mixes on hand in my pantry just so I can pull these together at a moments notice. They are a go to for any event or even gifting at the holidays. I love adding cake cookies to my christmas treat boxes or tutor/bible class teacher gifts.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies
Simple and Easy- I love a recipe that pretty much requires simple mixing. It allows my kids to get involved and help me knock them out. Mix, scoop, roll in powdered sugar, and bake. It’s really that simple!!
Versatile- I have already done one other cake cookie on this blog. It’s because there are so many variations you can make. Spice cake, red velvet, chocolate, funfetti, carrot, lemon, etc. Just pick a cake mix and then decide what you are going to mix in. Add in chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, etc.
Perfect for a Theme- I love something that matches a theme! These strawberry cake cookies are perfect to add to a valentines spread. Throwing a baby shower for a girl, these are great for that too. Any event that has the color pink, just add these to your menu and they will blend in perfectly!
