What makes this cookbook unique?

While there are other cake mix cookie cookbooks on the market, Practically Homemade Cookies and Bars takes a more modern approach.

This book is going to change the way you look at using a store bought cake mix and have you making gourmet delights in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Can your recipes be made gluten free?

While I don’t have any gluten free recipes in the book, a gluten free cake mix can be substituted for any cake mix recipe with great results!

What is your biggest piece of advice when it comes to baking?

My best advice is two parts. First, read the recipe and then read it again. Be sure that you have all of the ingredients and that they are exactly how you need them {for example: softened}. Second, have fun!! Don’t stress out and have a good time.
