When you need a colorful tasty treat, reach for a box of Confetti Cake mix. These cookies are soft and chewy and taste just as good as the cake, maybe even better (especially if you add a layer of cream cheese frosting).

I like cookies because they are easy to store, pre-portioned, and ready to pack for lunches or the car. You can also make the dough, scoop it, and freeze it for later, baking fresh cookies whenever the mood strikes.
