Making Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies

These are obviously cake-like cookies, but you can bake them a few minutes longer for a crispier texture. You can also use a smaller amount of mix to make them a little thinner. I suggest playing around with the amount you use per cookie to get your ideal cookie thickness and texture.

I have a habit of buying boxed caked mixes whenever they’re on sale and was desperate for a boxed cake mix recipe to use some up.

I’ve been experimenting with flavor variations and have a few favorites so far.

  • German Chocolate cake mix + Cream Cheese + Crushed Pecans + Toasted Coconut
  • Lemon cake mix + Cream Cheese + Lemon Zest
  • Strawberry cake mix + cream cheese + dark chocolate chips
  • White cake mix + cream cheese + caramel chips
  • Chocolate cake mix + cream cheese + milk chocolate chips
  • Chocolate cake mix + cream cheese + mint chips

I’m by no means done with my experiment, it’s too tasty to give up! What flavor combinations do you think would be great?
