How to Make Sugar Cookies With Cake Mix

Using a cake mix is a simple shortcut to making your dough for sugar cookies. For best results, use a French vanilla or a white cake mix for plain sugar cookies. Because you are using a pre-measured cake mix, you do not have to worry about getting the precise measurements with your ingredients. All you do is add eggs and oil to get soft sugar cookies straight from your oven.
