Cookies with cherries and chocolate chips

Since this cookie recipe uses a cake mix, it’s quite simple to make. All you need are a bunch of add-ins, which you could have fun with and switch up to your liking. These cookies are like a mini-party. Perfect for birthdays or any celebration. If you use vanilla pudding mix instead of banana, you could even call them Birthday Cake Cookies. Experiment and have fun!

    • Are you on mobile? For some reason that prevents people from seeing the ingredients. That’s horrible and I need to fix it! 🙁
      1 box white cake mix
      1 small pkg. banana instant pudding
      2 eggs
      ½ cup oil
      1 tsp. vanilla extract
      ½ cup chocolate chips
      ½ cup maraschino cherries, chopped
      ¼ cup sprinkles

  18. I really enjoy trying different type of cookies out and these are perfect for something new. I’ve never heard of anything like this before!

  19. I never heard of these before but they look so good! I will pass on the recipe to my mom to try it out. Thanks

  20. Jennifer, please help, my store only had the small boxes of pudding mix and 2 together come to more than the amount you have listed. They are 3.4 oz each. Would using 2 boxes be a problem? Would I need to change anything else if I do?

    Thanks in advance

    • Hi Debora! It’s probably not a huge deal to use 2 boxes. Or, you could just pour both boxes of the dry powder into a bowl and get rid of about 3.5 tablespoons. Let me know how it turns out!!
