Don’t miss this list of the best cake mix cookie recipes including chocolate caramel, white chocolate lemon, pumpkin chocolate, and so much more!
Are you an always-from-scratch person or more of a recipe-shortcut person? I think I fall somewhere in the middle. I do like making recipes from scratch and avoiding weird ingredients, artificial colors, preservatives, etc. At the same time, I’m weary. Sometimes I just want to take the easy route! Cake mixes are definitely one of the shortcuts I’m not ashamed to take (especially now that there are so many all-natural and gluten-free options)! I love cake mixes for, well, cakes, but it’s also nice to use them as an easy base for cookies. You can’t beat mixing a few ingredients together and coming up with satisfying cookies, one of my very favorite desserts!
All this is to say that today I’m bringing you ten amazing, gorgeous, delectable recipes. These are the best cake mix cookies I could round up to share with you, and I feel sure that you’ll want to try at least half a dozen if not all of them! Let’s get to the cookies!

I can only find milkyway unwrapped bites, not the simply caramel, will these work on the cinnamon caramel cookie?
Hi, Sandra. I would think those would bake up just the same!

Thank you, Mariah :)
Such a fun round-up! We love cake mix cookies!

Whoever discovered that a cake mix can be turned into cookies is a GENIUS, right?!
YES, that person is definitely a genius of the kitchen :)
They all look delicious but the caramel ones are really speaking to me right now!
Thank you, Tonia. Caramel always speaks to me :)

Great collection of cookies! I’ll have to keep this handy for holiday baking :)
Thank you, Maryanne! Cake mix cookies would be good when we’re all making dozens and dozens of cookies to give away!
Cake mix goodies are so bizarrely delicious! Like, addictively so. My grandpa used to make them in his later years. I think he loved how easy they were. :) And I do, too! So many great options here.
Maybe they taste better because they are so easy ;) That is a sweet memory about your grandpa. Thank you, Erin!
