COOKIE MIX SHORTCUTS: Recipes that Start with Cookie Mixes

We’ve got a big family- our calendar is always full and my To-Do list constantly a mile long. Many times I have to come up with a dessert or snack to share at the last minute and my very favorite time-saving cheats are… cookie mixes! They take less time to whip up and bake than cake mixes and they’re so versatile. I love using Krusteaz cookie mixes because not only are there so many to choose from, but they’re absolutely delicious and available at most grocery stores. Here is a round-up of several amazing recipes that start with cookie mixes- and end up as something incredible! I even included a special section for Christmas treats since the holidays are so close. Enjoy!
