Cream Cheese Cake Mix Cookies

These super easy cookies are made using boxed cake mix, with just cream cheese, butter and an egg added. Takes just a few minutes to make and the flavor options are endless!

I love baking from scratch, but I’m also all about short cuts. Using a box cake mix to make cookies is a great way to make “homemade” cookies when you are short on time.

For my cookies, I used strawberry cake mix and then rolled the cookie dough balls in Fruity Pebbles cereal before baking.
