I’m telling you all of my recipes are easy! How about Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies, that begin with a cake mix? I always have great intentions of making an amazingly elaborate dessert. I dream these desserts up in my mind and they are beautiful. Then before I know it the kids are getting off the bus and it’s time for chores, piano practice and never ending homework. Since I didn’t have time to make cheesecake, I settled on making Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies instead. Not only are they delicious, they are pretty cute too!
I’m a die hard chocolate fan, so I had to make a half of the cookie batch with semi-sweet chocolate chips and the other half with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. After sampling several of each kind of cookie (why do I do that?), I still can’t decide which I like better! If you decide to make both versions of this cookie, let me know which you like best!

- ½ c. butter, room temperature

- ¼ c. powdered sugar
- ⅛ c. Valentines sprinkles
Instructions

- Add dry cake mix and mix until combined.
- Add semi-sweet or white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Stir to incorporate.
- For cookies into 1 inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar and then in Valentines Sprinkles.
