Valentine’s Day White Cake Mix Cookies

Although holidays have been gone since two months now, but Valentine’s Day is around the corner. SV and I are getting crazy in the kitchen again. We are doing lots of baking and cooking, especially baking! We are just looking in the kitchen closets, see what’s available and we decide on the new recipe to try.

More than making a perfect recipe, we are digging the time we are spending together in the kitchen. SV is my assistant mostly and hands me over things I need to put in a recipe. When we decided to make this white cake mix cookies, we found this white cake mix in the pantry. I also found cream cheese frosting in the fridge and these colorful sprinkles in my kitchen closet.

Hence the recipe was decided. We did make a little booboo though. SV wanted a really really white cookie which he wanted to frost with pink cream cheese frosting. But when we were preparing the dough, I added eggs instead of egg whites. I mixed cake mix, oil and eggs, and the mix starts looking yellow. SV was quite disappointed, so we had to start from scratch. I added egg whites this time, and he loved the nice white color the dough came out with this time.

Everything went perfectly after that. SV had fun frosting the cookies and topping it with red, pink and white colorful sprinkles.
