*Fall 2011 Update: The 2nd Edition of Cake Mix Cookies is Out and Available on Amazon!*

The Ultimate Cake Mix Cookie Book: More Than 375 Delectable Cookie Recipes That Begin with a Box of Cake Mix

More than 200 of the recipes are brand new!!!

****************************************************************************

Imagine a kitchen warm with the smells of sweet vanilla, fragrant cinnamon, and fresh butter. On the kitchen counter is a cooling rack piled high with fresh-from-the-oven delights filled with chocolate chips and crunchy pecans. Ah, the age-old comfort of cookies.

Next imagine that each of the yummy treats began with a convenient box of cake mix. That's right, a standard 18.25-ounce box of cake mix is the secret to some of the tastiest, simplest, and most irresistible cookies imaginable. With a few extra ingredients, turns of a spoon, and whirrs of a mixer, cake mix can make anyone a prize cookie baker.

Like Cookie Dough Delights and Brownie Mix Bliss Cake Mix Cookies is the first Cookbook of its kind. Cake Mix Cookies is filled with an array of more than 175 drop, shaped, filled, and bar cookie options for every occasion. Numerous all-American favorites are used as starting points:

    *Chocolate chip
    *Oatmeal raisin
    *Jam thumbprints
    *Dark chocolate brownies

There are new takes on classic European cookies:

    *Crunchy Italian biscotti
    *Tender French madeleines
    *Rich Viennese teacakes

And a healthy dose of new cookies created for this book:

    *Blackberry-lemon buttermilk bars
    *Triple chocolate chess squares
    *Chocolate blackout

Cake Mix Cookies contains the broadest range of new recipes for cookies and bars that is unavailable elsewhere. And while it capitalizes on the popularity of baking with cake mixes, it has its own unique niche on the home cook's shelf.

Title: One of the best cookbooks out there
Review: This book is awesome. I recently purchased it for my Mom for Mother's Day, but received one for myself as a Christmas present last year. It's filled with amazing yet simple recipes that are incredibly delicious. I can usually whip one of these recipes up in a matter of minutes and my family raves about how wonderful they are. I've not made anything out of this cookbook yet that hasn't been gobbled up within days of making it. It's great when you need to make something for a school function or family get together. Everyone always asks for the recipes and I tell them where I got the book. It's well worth the money and then some. It's by far the best cookbook that I own. Also, the one that I ordered for my Mom arrived quickly, in time for Mother's Day, way ahead of the projected delivery date. It's an absolutely great gift for yourself or anyone that loves to cook.

Title: If you don't have time to bake from scratch or want to learn to bake with a book that isn't intimidating, buy this book!!
Review: I love this book. It's very easy to follow and not intimidating. I would think the recipes are so easy and simple, that they are also kid friendly, but don't take my word for it since I don't have kids, nor work with them. I love the tips in the beginning chapter, where they tell you all these tips about making cookies and keeping them fresh, that some people, like me, who grew up eating pre-made cookies wouldn't know. The book also explains the differences between ingredients and how to prep them. If you know anybody, who's interested in learning to bake or would like to bake (including yourself), but don't have the time to make things from scratch, this is a great gift.I would have love this book when I was in college cause I really wanted to learn to bake but I didn't have the time, nor energy, or money to pay for cooking/baking class, so everything I made was out of the box. I discovered that it was a great way to work off some the stress from studying and the smell of baked goods was also a stress relief, which my roommates also enjoyed. I really have enjoyed using this book cause I still don't have the time nor the energy to make things from scratch. Don't get me wrong, I know that nothing compares to something made from scratch but for me personally due to my current life style, that's what a bakery is for. I still am at awe anybody who makes things from scratch.

Title: Cake Mix Cookies
Review: This is a great cook book. I purchased my FIRST copy a couple of years ago and have used it to make cookies ever since. I have purchased two additional copies since them - used one in a basket with four cake mixes, four packages of chips, a package of nuts, and a package of Parchment Paper for a silent auction for the church where I work and will give the second one as a gift this week. There is a huge variety of cookies to chose from, the ingredients are not expensive or difficult to find and everyone likes the cookies I make. What more could I ask?

Title: Easy and Delicious
Review: I love to bake but don't always have the time. This cookbook gives you quick, easy to follow recipes that are absolutely delicous. And the ingredients are probably already in your pantry. The Lemon Poppyseed cookies( both with and without the glaze) are fabulous. The Deep Dark Chocolate Sour Cream brownies are a chocoholic's dream come true. The Banana Monkey bars were every bit as good as promised. This book is a winner!

Title: Cake mixes are 15oz in 2022
Review: This book was written back in the good ol days when cake mixes came in 18oz boxes. Shrinkflation in 2022 we now can only purchase 15oz cake mix boxes. As all bakers know, baking is a science and these recipes will not work as the author has written them.

Title: Fast service and a very nice book. All the recipes look so good
Review: Fast service and a very nice book. All the recipes look so good, I can't figure out which one to start with. Maybe the first one and work my way through the whole book.
