Sugar Cookie Mix Hacks
Easy Add-In: After creating the dough according to the sugar cookie mix instructions, Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to create a tangier, cakier and all-around more flavorful cookie.
Flavor Twist: For a punchier twist, swap the water in the sugar cookie mix instructions for rum, bourbon or coffee liqueur. Or if you’re cooking for kiddos, try using freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice instead. You’ll get the same fun flavor without the booze.
After-Baking Idea: Pulse your baked cookies in a food processor to make fine crumbs, then mix with ⅓ cup melted butter and your flavoring of choice, like vanilla, almond, maple, mint or lemon extract. Press the mixture into a baking pan to make a no-bake graham cracker-like crust. Enjoy the crust with ice cream, whipped cream and fruit or use it as a shortcut to a recipe like this Banana Cream Pie Lush.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Hacks
Easy Add-In: After creating the dough according to the chocolate chip cookie mix instructions, toss in ½ cup of your favorite add-ins for a fun visual vibe that’s also tasty. Try your favorite chopped candy bar, toasted nuts, mini marshmallows, pretzels, chips or whatever your heart desires! Better yet, try a variety to create the ultimate monster cookie. Just be sure to keep your add-ins to ½ cup, otherwise, you risk overwhelming the dough.
Tip: Craving more? Double the batch with another chocolate chip cookie mix or get funky and use a second flavor, like the peanut butter cookie mix, instead.
Flavor Twist: To give your cookies a comforting and tasty twist, add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry chocolate chip cookie mix, before creating the dough. Nothing says warm and cozy like the scent of cinnamon baking in the oven!
After-Baking Idea: Technically, this is a half-baked idea, but creative and simple nonetheless! Follow this Chocolate Chip Cookie I Cream Pie recipe to use a portion of your dough to create a pie crust and then use your baked cookies as the pie topping. Add your favorite ice cream and hot fudge and you have a treat that’s perfect for family, guests or midnight snacking!
