Spice Cake Mix Cookies

I think I've professed my love for Cake Mix Cookies here on the blog before, but I have to rave about them again. This is hands down, the easiest, quickest and one of the most delicious cookie recipes I have on hand.

We were in charge of hosting our small group this week and I hate hosting empty handed. Snacks are certainly not required to host, but it's one of the few times I actually have a chance to make something sweet, plus I think our house feels more homey when you've got something baking! I am so thankful I ended up making these, as it's probably the best cake mix cookie I've made to date. I know. It's a bold statement, but these babies live up to it!

Here's the basic recipe:

Cake Mix Cookies

1 box cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 C oil

Mix all ingredients. Either drop balls onto cookie sheet and bake 375 for 6-8 minutes, or press into a 9x13 and bake 350 for 15-20 minutes.

Now, if I'm doing a chocolate cake mix, I usually drop it into ball shape and make cookies. If you under bake the chocolate cookies just a hair so them come out gooey, well, it's delicious. Anything else though, I really like to press it into the pan and add extra toppings.

For this recipe, I used a Spice Cake mix and patted it into my greased 9x13. I then topped it with a generous sprinkling of crushed pecans and patted these into the dough. Bake as directed and the immediately ice with cream cheese frosting once it's out of the oven.

Y'all. I had people going back for seconds, thirds AND fourths on these cookies. That's how good they are! And the best thing is, I started the baking process around 6:43 and still had them out to serve by 7:05 when our small group was arriving! Add these to your "must make list" today!
