Snickerdoodle Cake Mix Cookies

Welcome back, friends! With Halloween over now and Thanksgiving up next, a lot of us are already looking and planning a head for holiday meal ideas, snacks and treats. I’m already candied out (shocker), but still pinning holiday cookie recipes on Pinterest. I’m in the middle of planning a big holiday cookie decorating party with the kids classmates so I’m in a cookie baking mood. This past weekend I tried out a new cookie recipe that would be perfect for holiday cookie exchanges or perfect for gift giving to friends and co-workers. They only take a few ingredients and very little time: Snickerdoodle Cake Mix Cookies. They also taste great with a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Trust me. I’m also willing to bet that no one would ever guess these yummy cookies were made out of a basic white cake mix.

Snickerdoodle Cake Mix Cookies Ingredients –

1 box of white cake mix, any brand

1/2 C. butter, melted
2 tbs. sugar
