Yet another recipe made from a cake mix. I am all about the ease of things and I totally go for the recipes with the fewest ingredients. Here is a great recipe for the cookie: Snickerdoodle. They are rolled in sugar and cinnamon for extra sparkle. Look how they crackle when they’re cooked!

I have always struggled with what to make for dinner, but who doesn’t. I open the fridge and it’s a big blur. If I don’t already have in mind what to make, then it is the first thing that I can grab, like eggs, hot dogs, mac n cheese, grilled cheeses, tuna, and cereal. Those [...]
