Ingredients
COOKIES
-
1 (19 ounce) box French vanilla cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
FROSTING
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6-8 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
1
COOKIES: Preheat oven to 350*. Blend, cake mix, eggs, and oil until moistened. Roll into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a glass (but not too much, you want them to be 'fluffy').2
Bake for 6-8 minutes. Cool for 1 minute on pan before moving to a cooling rack.3
FROSTING: Place butter in a large bowl. Add 4 cups sugar and then milk and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approx 3-5 minutes. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time beating well after each time, about 2 minutes, until the icing is thick enough to spread. Add food coloring if you'd like.4
While the cookies are still a little warm, spread on some buttercream frosting. Allow the frosting to set up before storing.

Tastewise these are pretty darned close to the real thing but it didn't hit the mark for me on texture. My cookies weren't fluffy at all actually and more resembled a traditional sugar cookie. I wonder if not smooshing the cookie down would help with this. Regardless, my husband used explicitives when telling me how good these cookies were so there ya go! Made soooooo much stinking frosting I think I threw away like a pound of it. I will definitely half next time.

This recipe was VERY easy and it turned out better than expected. You do want to use Pillsbury Vanilla, it has a great taste to it. They are a little heavy, but yet fluffy..weird. I didn't do the icing, I went store bought and colored the icing. Everything was perfect!!! Thank you!!!!

These tasted pretty good but I would not say that they are anything like lofthouse. They aren't as fluffy.

Yum! I loved these. Pretty close to lofthouse if you ask me, but I'm not as picky as some people can be. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the recipe, no creaming sugar and eggs etc. I used a store bought white icing and decorated them really cute. Everyone loved them and thought I was a cookie genius. Thanks alot!
