The Many Things That Can Be Made With Cookie Mix

When people purchase a cookie mix, they may never stop to think about the many things they can make with it. They see it as an easy way to have cookies in little time. Who says they are limited to cookies, however? Grab a few cookie mixes and try the following recipes to see how versatile these prepackaged items are. Fruit Pizza Start with a giant cookie mix and prepare according to the directions on the package. Place on a round cookie sheet and bake until golden. Add cream cheese frosting and top it with favorite fruits. Kids (and adults) love this fruit pizza, which combines healthy fruits with a sweet treat. As each person likely has their favorite fruits, the pizza can be divided into sections so each person can have a dessert they love. Buttercream Cookie Cups Prepare cookie mix and form it into balls. Press one ball into each cup in a muffin tin and bake. Once the cookie cups are ready, fill them with buttercream frosting. Set out multiple topping options and allow each person to decorate their cookie cup. Ideas include crushed sandwich cookies, sprinkles, M&Ms, and other toppings. Peanut Butter Pizza Who says pizza has to have sauce and cheese? Why not make a peanut butter pizza for the PB&J fans? Start with a cookie mix base. Prepare the cookie mix as directed on the package and spread it on a round pizza stone. Top with peanut butter frosting and add peanut butter cups. Another option is adding a jelly layer to the peanut butter frosting or using the family's favorite accompaniment. The ideas are endless. Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Making peanut butter cup cookies from scratch takes time, and many prefer a cookie mix to simplify the process. Begin by preparing the cookie mix as directed and forming it into balls. Press each ball into a muffin tin and bake until golden brown. Once the cookie cups have cooled, fill the center with a peanut butter cup for a delectable treat. Use sugar cookie mix for one batch and peanut butter cookie mix for another batch to see which the family likes best. These are only a few ways prepackaged cookie mixes can create delicious treats the family will love. Countless other ideas exist, so don't become locked into thinking cookies are the only thing that can be made with these mixes. Their versatility makes them an ideal pantry staple for any household.
