Rainbow Chip Cake Mix Cookies

Can you tell I’ve been on a baking kick lately? It’s currently Miss E’s favorite activity for us to do together while Little Man sleeps so we’ve been experimenting with recipes and having lots of fun at the same time. I can’t complain one bit. A long time a go, a friend gave me a recipe for cake mix snickerdoodles, so I decided to try the same technique and make Rainbow Chip Cake Mix Cookies. It was a total success (at least my family told me so).

It’s an extremely easy cookie recipe, you only need 3 ingredients! And I bet your kids will love them :)

    Hi Taryn, Looks like this is my new “go-to” blog for fast and easy treats! I never would have thought of using the cake mix. Plus, no mess with flour all over the place from measuring!

    Mine looked a little different because I only had coconut oil on hand and half a box of funfetti cake mix, but I just cut the recipe in half and they taste delicious! I was a little nervous but I love how they turned out!

    Great recipe! 1 inch cookie dough balls, for me though, actually made 3 dozen cookies! When they’re done cooling I’m going to ice some of them with the rainbow chip icing.

      Well that’s a nice surprise :) Maybe I made mine a little bigger than 1″. And I love the rainbow chip icing idea!

Solving this design dilemma! This large light swit Solving this design dilemma! This large light switch in the middle of the wall has been tricky to decorate around, so I decided to decorate with it, incorporating it into the gallery wall. 

All the prints are purchased from Etsy!  Most frames are from Target.

It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
