Strawberry & White Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

By srumbel

This recipe is so cool because it uses a cake mix! It takes mere seconds {okay, maybe 2 minutes} to whip together, throw the dough into the fridge to chill and bam! – cookies are in the oven! I tried to lighten up the recipe a little bit by subbing in light cream cheese…and then counteracted that by adding in loads of white chocolate and of course, M&Ms. OMG! They are soooo good!
