Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients: 1 box of cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
Optional: 1 ½ cups of mix-ins (chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mini M&M’s, etc.)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients until combined. (An adult may need to help get it mixed well.)
- Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes.
What makes these cookies great is that you can change up the cake flavor and the mix-ins. Use a red velvet or lemon cake mix with white chocolate chips, a chocolate cake mix with peanut butter chips or Andes baking bits, or use a yellow cake mix with chocolate chips or M&M’s.
Peanut Butter Drop Cookies
Ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, 1 egg, Hershey’s Kisses (or other miniature candy)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients until combined.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon worth of dough, roll into a ball, and then place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the cookies are baking, remove any wrapping from candy.
- Once cookies are removed from the oven, immediately press candy into the center of the cookie.
No Bake Graham Cookies
Ingredients: 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs (the cinnamon ones are good!), 1 mashed banana, 1/3 cup of peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients with a spoon until combined.
- You could choose to add some mini-chocolate chips, sprinkles, or raisins if you like.
- Use a melon-baller or tablespoon to scoop out dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
