   Is it true?! Is it really real?!? Is spring finally, finally here?!?!?! : )  

   Our spring here has been warm...and then snowing! And then warm....and then snowing!!!! And then all the kids got sun-burnt one Saturday.....then we had an ice storm! I mean, good golly.

    Anywho, I'm washing the snow pants and winter coats for the third time to put away for the warmer months, and am hoping it'll stick this time! 

    Well, when the winter won't end, more and more cookies get made! These super simple gems are made using a cake mix, and we added some super fun mini candy covered chocolate chip thingies.....I honestly can't remember what they are really called...? 

    Anyway, enjoy!

Cosmic Cake Mix Brownie Cookies
I get approx. 22 cookies using a 2 Tbsp sized scoop from one batch


Ingredients:
  • 1 - 400g boxed cake mix (gluten-free works too - it's what I've used in this posts photos!) ***Do note that every brands boxed cake mixes can have more or less in them, so be sure to check to see what you've got, and then adjust your wet ingredients accordingly*** 
  • 1/3 Cup oil (plus 3-6 Tablespoons more as needed)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup cosmo chips (I get these at the Bulk Barn in the section with all the sprinkles)

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 and prepare a baking sheet with parchment (if you don't trust your baking sheets non-stickiness factor!)
  2. Combine the cake mix and wet ingredients together, adding additional oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have a thick, but manageable dough. The dough won't be at sturdy as regular cookie dough, but you should be able to scoop it and have it keep it's shape (and not run)
  3. Mix in the cosmo chips
  4. Using a 2 Tbsp scoop, or a heaping tablespoon, scoop your cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart
  5. Bake for 8-12 minutes. until the cookies look set, but still soft (you want a nice, fudgy centre - not a dried out puck!) : )

     I made this particular batch o' cookies with a President's Choice Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix. Someone at church gave it to me because their son who used to eat gluten free wasn't anymore, so she kindly gave us a bag of random gluten-free goodies!

    I basically never need a gluten-free cake though except for Caleb's birthday, and my homemade recipe is so darn good, so using the mix for cookies was definitely more up my alley. I was able to pack away a bunch of the cookies in the freezer and have them ready to take-along for my gluten-free Caleb if we went somewhere I knew there would be some treats he couldn't partake in.  

     Well, that's it, I guess. My mind feels like bleh....yesterday I was filling out a form for a police check, and I wrote my birthday year as 1893. Then I put a 5 instead of an S at one spot, and I also wrote my address one line above each line I was actually supposed to write it on. Golly gee willikers. Hopefully my brain is taking some sort of rest to get ready for some sort of awesomeness....? Yes? Fingers crossed? 

    Have a great weekend - and a great Mother's Day! Be sure to show some love to some motherly figure in your life!

These turned out so fudgy and tasty. My boxed cake mix was bigger than yours, so I kept adding more oil until I had a nice, cookie dough consistency. Thanks for the tip about not all boxed mixes being the same size-I wouldn't have realized it unless you had pointed it out!

Hi there! I'm glad your cookies turned out so nice, and I'm also glad you were able to make the adjustments needed to make them turn out! It would be nice if all boxed cake mixes were the same size, but alas, they are not!
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
