If I had to name one recipe that I was known for during high school cake mix cookies would be it! This is an easy four ingredient wonder. These tasty and homemade treats come together so quickly. I have made these countless times for school events, basketball games, and slumber parties. I know this will be my “go to” recipe when my daughter comes to me last minute needing cookies for an event!

Food H & P:
1 box cake mix (butter, white, or chocolate)
2 eggs
1 stick of melted butter (or ½ cup of vegetable oil)
1 cup of mix-ins (M&M, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee, pecans, walnuts, Reese pieces…)

Food Rx:
Mix everything together. I usually reserve ¼ a cup of the mix-ins to sprinkle on top before baking, making the cookies prettier and letting your guests know what is in it. Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan and sprinkle reserved mix-ins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 mins, careful not to overcook.

I absolutely love these cookies. The possibilities are endless! I usually have all the ingredients on hand, so this is my “go to” recipe when I need a dessert in a pinch.

Nursing Tip: Although these cookies are ready in a flash that is not always the case for ER wait times. As we live in a technology friendly age never fully rely on the computer generated wait time for an Emergency Room. We can never predict when the next trauma or heart attack will come through the doors.
