Cake Mix Cookie Baking Tips

Mix your 3 basic ingredients and gently stir in your mix-in, being careful not to over mix.

If you are using sprinkles, one or two turns with the spoon will do!

I also highly recommend adding parchment paper to your cookie sheet. It’s such a game changer!

I used to think parchment paper was only for “fancy” recipes but it has quickly become one of my favorite tools to use in the kitchen!
