Toffee Chip Cookies are made with six ingredients.

Here's a quick tip: A box of cake mix can be used for more than making cake.

One of my favorite things to do with a cake mix is to bake cake mix cookies. These cookies are perfect for summertime when most of us are too busy playing outside to hang out in the kitchen.

In Monday's Scene section you'll find a fun story on making cupcake cones. These easy cupcakes, made from a cake mix, are presented in little cake cones. It's a great idea for a kid's birthday party or just a cool treat.

Or give these cake mix cookies a try. The toffee chip are my favorite.
