This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

I used white cake with almond extract. I liked them. Very plain cookies but simple. I might try adding chocolate chips or something.

This is the best, no fail way to make cookies. You can add in things like nuts or chocolate chips so easily and they always turn out. And you can use different cake mix flavors. I have noticed that cake mix packages have shrunk a little so they texture is a bit different so I use a little less oil now.

This is kinda my go to cookie recipe. It's the only recipe that always works for me without fail. And you can change it up with different flavor cake mixes or add-ins. Love it! Thanks!

These cookies are great! I used a white cake mix with about 1-1/2 cups of fruity pebbles for one batch and then used a devil's food cake mix with crushed candy cane and chocolate chips for another batch. Both turned out fantastically!!!! I found that 9 minutes was the perfect timing in a well-calibrated 350 degree oven. Enjoy!!
I hate to bake but this was so easy, fast and turned out like I knew what I was really doing. I used a Devil's Food cake mix and can't wait to try with other cake mixes. There's that bake idea again. thanks!!

These cookies are so easy and turn out great everytime. We had some friends over and they ate probably 8 each! They were gone that night. Try spice cake mix for something different and delicious.

When Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge cake mix and Guittard milk chocolate chips are used, these are superb! Peanut butter chips are also excellent.

This is one of the best and easiest cookie recipes I have ever tried. Took a batch to work and they didn't last long. Now I get request for every occasion to bring these cookies.
