101 MORE Things to do with a Cake Mix

Remember when I said I didn’t like cake mix? There was something about this kooky book that instantly attracted me to it. It’s by Stephanie Ashcraft and, hint hint, you can buy it at the Kollege Kitchen Amazon Webstore!  Isn’t self-promotion awesome?!

In all seriousness however, I really like the recipe I made. It’s from the “Cookies and Bars” category, proving that one can indeed do a hell of a lot with just a box of cake mix.

They’re called Chewy Strawberry Cookies, and here’s the recipe:

1 strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
2 cups whipped topping
powdered sugar

With a spoon, mix cake mix, eggs, and whipped topping together in large bowl. Refrigerate dough 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll 1-inch dough balls in powdered sugar, then drop onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 6-9 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Remove cookies and place on a nonstick rack to cool. Store in the refrigerator.

So, first off – 4 ingredients. Not only that, how in holy hell can eggs, Cool Whip, and a box of cake mix make a cookie? The insanity was too great NOT to try the cookies. Here’s how it went down…

I started out with Duncan Hines’ Moist Deluxe Strawberry Cake Mix.

All pink.

Here are the eggs..and the whipped topping. Why go for cool whip when I can  get the same for cheaper?

The tub is SO light even though there are eight ounces in there.

Use large eggs.

Here’s what the batter looks like all mixed together

More pink.

And here’s the finished result. A cross-section for your eating pleasure.

Om.
