  1. It is a yellow cake mix. I just want to say that i love using this recipe. But there is one thing that makes these cookies to die for… Using Mexican vanilla. Don’t ask me why… they just make the cookies amazing.

  2. These are particularly delicious made with french vanilla cake mix.
    My recipe is almost identical only its one stick of butter or margarine instead of the oil. I like that because then you are only getting one bowl dirty and don’t have any measuring cups to wash!

  3. Hi! I got your link from a friend and so far I am impressed! You seem very chic and cool with your kids. I like mommies that are well, mommies!

    This recipe looks great, I am a fan already and I haven’t even tasted them.

    I wanted to share this little tip for making the degree sign when entering temperatures.

    Hold down the “Alt” button while typing 2-4-8. That little circle or “degree” sign will show up. Cool eh?

    Say good bye to the little star!

    Thanks for sharing your cool tips and fun ideas, no doubt I WILL BE BACK!!!

  4. i heart snickerdoodles. rolling the little balls in cinnamon sugar brings out the kid in me. thanks for the classic recipe and reminder to make these more often!

  5. I just looked at this picture and thought, “Want some cookies?” What movie is that from? Here is a hint: He is dressed up as a girl scout!!
