Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

  • 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix
  • 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Hershey's Cinnamon Chips

Instructions

  • Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
  • Stir in Cinnamon Chips with large wooden spoon.
  • Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet.
  • Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!

Notes

*Note: IfĀ you can't find a spice cake mix, try this as a substitute: Use a Yellow Cake Mix, and whisk in the following: 1 3/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger, 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves.
*When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. Ā However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.

      This was so easy I didn’t have any spice cake mix on hand so I used 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and pumpkin morsels that I found on sale after Christmas holidays and my kids wanted more, I made 2 batches and It made 48 cookies exactly, I also froze some individually for lunches and they did really well

      I couldn’t find the cinnamon morsels so I usedNESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSEĀ® PUMPKIN SPICE MORSELS. All I can say is WOW!

      Now it’s time to really experiment. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Excellent and easy! I don’t normally have flour and sugar on hand so it was nice to begin with a cake mix. I also chilled the dough for about an hour.
