⏲️Instructions
Follow these super easy step-by-step instructions below to whip up the best batch of Mixed Berry Muffin Mix Cookies.
Step one: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, if the cookie sheet is not non-stick, it needs to be greased with butter or cooking spray.
Hint: remove the cookies from the oven when they are still soft in the middle. They will firm up as they cool off. If you wait until the centers are fully cooked before taking them out of the oven, they will become hard as they cool.
