I wanted to make cookies for the holiday season but my schedule and budget wouldn’t allow it. So I did some research and found the cheapest, fastest, easiest, and of course delicious cookie recipes and found that you can make cookies out of boxed cake mix.

Funfetti® Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients:

1 (19 ounce) package cake mix with candy bits (such as Pillsbury® Funfetti®), or more to taste
