A New Cookie Recipe? Yes Please!

Here at Bubba Pie, we LOVE cookies. We don’t really discriminate, any sort of cookie will do! But we especially love a nice, soft and chewy cookie that is full on flavor.

At some point, we discovered the joys of using cake mix to create all sorts of yummy desserts. From Fall Classics like this Apple Pie Cake to probably the most delicious dessert recipe on this site, the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake! But we’ve also discovered that a store bought cake mix can make a really delicious cookie too!

Over the years, we’ve made Red Velvet Cookies and Strawberry Cookies, both this Cake Mix. And they were delicious. But one of my favorite cookies of all time is a Snickerdoodle Cooker. Buttery, sugary with just that slight spice of the cinnamon! A perfect cookie! So I decided to make some Cake Mix Snickerdoodles!
