****************************************************************************
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.

I've made quite a few cake mix cookies over the years, and it's much like the doctored cake mix cakes--the basic ones may taste like a cake mix, but the well-doctored ones don't. This collection has an inspiring number of flavor combinations and cookie varieties. I was hopeful when I ordered it that it would live up to the promise of containing many options different from the cake mix cookie recipes that are already out there. Well, it does, and then some. The Viennese tea cakes are simply delicious, and so easy--a can of almond filling is the secret ingredient. They took about 3 minutes to whip up. I took the plunge and made the classic madeleines, too--a bit of a stretch for me since I had to whip some egg whites, but that was the only fussy part and they turned out buttery, golden and delicious.

(St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cake Mix Cookies: More Than 175 Delectable Cookie Recipes That Begin With a Box of Cake Mix (Paperback) I and three other women made the desserts for a community Thanksgiving fundraising supper this weekend and made multiple bars from this book including the pumpkin gooey chess squares, pumpkin pie bars, triple chocolate gooey bars, pecan pie bars, premier cranberry cream cheese bars and the blackberry-lemon crumb bars. The recipe directions were excellent, the results were perfect, and people were beside themselves trying to get second and third helpings (we thought we had made too much but we in fact ran out). Really a useful book and I was delighted by the wide range of recipes. The bars are definitely stars but I'm looking forward to trying some of the biscotti, madeleine and thumbprint cookies, too. 38 of 38 people found the following review helpful: GREAT resource--love it, This review is from: Cake Mix Cookies: More Than 175 Delectable Cookie Recipes That Begin With a Box of Cake Mix (Paperback) What a great book. I have made a slew of recipes already, from all the different chapters in the book. Simple, clear & easy-to-follow instructions, super results. Some really surprising, sophisticated flavor combinations, not the run-of-the-mill cake mix cookies, although there are lots of great "basic" ideas, too, that have been hits with my kids. The key lime bars are sublime. |
