"This recipe came about because I wanted to start my 13 year old daughter off with an easy recipe for her first time baking cookies by herself when I wasn't available. We were amazed how delicious these cookies came out. They're addicting and have become a regular especially when you need something that is quick and delicious that satisfies your sweet-tooth."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Step 2
Beat all ingredients together until all is incorporated smooth. Place batter in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.
Step 3
Place enough powdered sugar in a bowl to roll cookie balls in (approximately 1 cup).
Step 4
Roll pieces of batter into 1-inch balls with palms of hands until all the dough is used up. It is best to place each ball of dough on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
Step 5
Place each piece of dough ball into bowl of powdered sugar and roll to cover with sugar.
Step 6
Place cookie balls on greased cookie sheets about 1-inch apart. Press each cookie down with back of fork.
Step 7
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle cookies with additional powdered sugar.
NOTE: We've used different flavors of cake mix: butter, yellow, confetti, marble, lemon, etc. They all come out good but find that the Duncan Hines brand comes out best in taste
Tips
