I have been on a cookie thing lately, my sweet of choice has been cookies! I’m usually more of a cake or cupcake girl but lately it’s all about cookies. A new cookie shop opened near us and I was actually there waiting in line opening day, and I wasn’t disappointed! I don’t know why I’m currently cookie crazed but that craze led me to develop a new, delicious recipe!

You know I love the ease of recipes that have a cake mix base, they are easier to make with children. Some of my favorite cake mix cookies are my S’mores Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, and my Ugly Christmas Cookies.

To make this recipe, I used the Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix, my 1″ cookie scoop, and my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.

As is often the case, I brought these cookies to church with me on Wednesday nights. All of my girls wanted more than the 2 I gave them! I have to save some for my former students who always come visit me after class to say “hi!” and to see if I baked. One of the high school seniors who has been enjoying my baking for 7 years said these are the best thing I’ve ever made! I’ll take that as a compliment because she likes everything I make.
