I first discovered cake mix cookies when I was in junior high school. I may not have been into cooking or baking, but I did like sweets (still do!). My mom was always buying cake mixes when they went on sale and they'd sit in the cupboards for months, sometimes years. Somewhere I found a recipe for cake mix cookies. They were super easy to make and incredibly versatile.
These days I mostly make my cookies from scratch. But sometimes I just have a craving for the ease and taste of a cake mix cookie.
These recipes makes roughly three dozens.

| Grasshopper Cake Mix Cookies |
I had a recipe for grasshopper cake I was going to make last St. Patty’s day but decided to be lazy and turned the cake recipe into a cookie recipe instead. The outcome was delicious.
Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chocolate chips
12-14 drops green food coloring
2 teaspoons mint extract.
Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chocolate chips
12-14 drops green food coloring
2 teaspoons mint extract.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat the cake mix, eggs, oil, extract and food coloring together until the batter becomes stiff. Add chocolate chips. If you want cookies with green swirls instead of solid green cookies, add food coloring with the chips. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the cookie bottoms turn a golden brown.

I’ll admit, these are one of my all time favorite cookies. Everyone I’ve ever made these for absolutely fell in love with them too. They taste just like chocolate covered cherries. Every batch disappears in a blink of an eye.
So far, the only brand I’ve found that makes cherry cake mix is Betty Crocker.
Ingredients:
1 package Betty Crocker Cherry Chip cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love coconut. Sadly, I only know two or three people (and Eric isn't one of them) who also love coconut so I don’t get to make these cookies very often.
