Cake Mix Snickerdoodles

I love to bake!  However, sometimes after working all day, I just don't have the energy for baking.  I've discovered recipes using a cake mix as a base.  Cake mix recipes save time and are often just as delicious as those made from scratch.  

These Snickerdoodles were no exception, in fact, they may be better than some scratch recipes I've tried.  The original recipe calls for a white cake mix.  I used a yellow cake mix, the only difference I think is the color.  If you're looking for a quick cookie recipe or one to make with the kids or grandkids, give this one a try!
