Vegan Blueberry Cookies from a Cake Mix

 

I gave up chocolate for Lent. Chocolate in any shape or form. But not dessert. So this is one of my go to goodie for this time of the year. I am surprised it came out delicious.  My picky taster, my carnivore husband, gave these cookies two thumbs up.

Its preparation is made easy using a cake mix.  To save money and for your convenience, I gave a recipe for a big batch of homemade cake mix equivalent to four boxes.  I also gave a homemade recipe for one box.  You can adjust the sugar amount and kind according to your taste and health needs.
