I’ve dressed up an easy cake mix cookie with peppermint buttercream. Santa approved, they are perfect for any cookie platter or for snacking on after a marathon wrapping session!
Last Saturday I spent 16 hours in my kitchen! I made a special cake for my aunt’s surprise 70th birthday (I’ll be sharing some time soon) and I made several batches of holiday cookies.
When you are doing that much in one day, they have to be easy…….if you know me, you know I’m all about doing things the easy way!

Today I’m over at Katrina’s Kitchen sharing one of my favorite “go-to” cookies with a Christmas twist……Cake Mix cookies with Peppermint Buttercream
Cake mix cookies are so simple, and chances are you have everything you need to make them – any flavor cake mix, oil and eggs! That’s it! For super quick and easy you can top them with canned frosting, or no frosting and add a little Cool Whip to the batter and roll in powdered sugar like I did for Lemon Burst cookies. It’s such a versatile recipe, it’s easy to change it up, like I did this year for my holiday cookie platter.
