Hey everyone, it’s your girl back with another baking adventure! Today, I tried making cake mix cookies with cream cheese, and let me tell you, it was quite a ride. I saw this trend all over the internet and I just had to give it a go.
I started by gathering all my ingredients. I grabbed a box of cake mix, I think it was vanilla, some cream cheese (the full-fat kind, because why not?), a couple of eggs, and some oil. I was feeling a little extra, so I also got some sprinkles to throw in later. I mean, who doesn’t like sprinkles, right?
First thing I did was to preheat my oven to 350°F. While that was heating up, I dumped the cake mix into a big bowl. Then, I tossed in the softened cream cheese. It was a bit of a struggle to get it out of the package, but I managed. Next, I cracked in the eggs and poured in the oil. Now came the fun part – mixing everything together!
I got in there with my trusty spatula and started mixing. It was kinda hard at first because the cream cheese was still a bit cold, but I kept at it. After a bit of elbow grease, it all came together into this thick, gooey dough. It looked pretty promising, I must say. That’s when I decided to add in those sprinkles, just to make things a bit more festive.
Next up, I lined a baking sheet with some parchment paper. I’ve had too many cookies stick to the pan in the past, so I wasn’t taking any chances. I scooped out the dough using a tablespoon and dropped them onto the sheet, leaving a little space between each one. They looked so cute and colorful!
I popped the sheet into the oven and set the timer for about 10 minutes. While I was waiting, I cleaned up the mess I made – which was quite a bit, to be honest. I always manage to make a mess when I’m baking, it’s part of the fun, I guess.
- Mixing: Getting all those ingredients to come together into a smooth dough was a workout!
- Adding Sprinkles: I just love how colorful they make everything look.
- Baking Time: Waiting is always the hardest part, but it’s worth it in the end.
When the timer went off, I took the cookies out and let them cool for a few minutes. They smelled amazing, like a sweet, vanilla-y dream. Then, I finally got to try one. Oh boy, were they good! They were soft, chewy, and had that tangy cream cheese flavor that just made them extra special. I ended up eating a few more than I probably should have, but hey, who’s counting?
Final Thoughts
All in all, making these cake mix cookies with cream cheese was a success! It was a fun, easy, and delicious experiment. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a quick and tasty treat. Just make sure you have enough willpower to not eat them all in one sitting!
