Recipe Tips

Follow these tips for the softest, tastiest cookies! To make these cookies soft and moist.

Remove from the oven right as the edges turn light golden brown, not any later. Cool them on the baking pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Keep the cookies in an airtight container to keep them as soft as possible and add a piece of white sandwich bread to prevent them from drying out. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes to help prevent the cookies from spreading too thin and losing moisture. Chilled dough is not as sticky and is easier to scoop and roll into balls.

Cake mix. A box of cake mix is approximately 15.25 oz. Do NOT mix the cake according to the directions on the box. Use only the cake mix powder along with the ingredients for these cookies. Room-temperature eggs will incorporate better with the ingredients than cold eggs.

Recipe Variations

Change things up to make these for different occasions or to add flavor.

Mix-ins. Add white chocolate chips or mini M&M’s. Sprinkles. Stick with rainbow jimmies for the best texture and taste, but change them up with holiday colors! You could also roll the cookie dough balls in sprinkles in lieu of frosting.

Storage Tips

STORE cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. FREEZE cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. STORE cookie dough. Cover or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. FREEZE cookie dough. Shape the dough into balls and freeze for later. Place the cookie dough balls on baking sheets and then into the freezer. Once solid, transfer them to a large freezer Ziploc bag for about 3 months. Bake them directly from the freezer, just add 2-3 more minutes.
