This recipe requires only 3 ingredients (which you probably already have on hand!). These are seriously the easiest cookies to whip up and perfect for the kids to help with. You’ll need:

Depending on the version you are making, feel free to include any extra flavoring, such as pure vanilla, peppermint, almond, and coconut extract. Check out my mix-in ideas below.
Funfetti: Use a confetti cake mix and add more sprinkles. Red Velvet: Use a red velvet cake mix and add white chocolate chips. Spiced: Use a spice cake mix and add cinnamon chips. Strawberry: Use a strawberry cake mix and add some freeze-dried strawberry powder. Butter Pecan: Use a butter pecan cake mix and add some chopped pecans. Carrot: Use a carrot cake mix and drizzle with cream cheese frosting. Cinnamon Rolls: Use a vanilla cake mix, add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to the batter, and then drizzle with cream cheese frosting after baking.

Freeze: Let the cookies cool completely after baking. Then place on a cookie sheet and flash freeze for about 30 minutes. Once they’re hard, place the cookies in a freezer container or bag and freeze them for up to 2 months. To thaw, remove them from the freezer about 2 hours before enjoying and let them thaw at room temperature.
