Does using a box mix count as baking?

I had my girls pick out some different cookies things they wanted to bake this year. Some were recipes for new things found on pintrest and others they selected were those box mix ones in the grocery store.
Like they had ones to make hello kitty cookies and ninja turtle cookies. Tonight we made the ninja turtle cookies. Does that count as baking? or does it not because it was from a box?

I figure anything that doesn't come out of Walmart ready to eat can be considered homemade.

I guess that if you have a nice end product it is baking.

It depends on the person. If you are used to baking completely by scratch, then the answer would be an obvious no, it's not baking, not in the real sense anyway. Then again, you had your girls helping you, and that is an easy way to get them involved, so then the answer would be yes, it's considered baking. Especially since they helped make those cookies.

I would consider it baking. Hope the cookies turn out well.

If it comes out of your oven, I call it home baking:) The kids don't mind at all, as long as they are joining in the fun! And you of course, have lots of fun with them

It you have to add more things to the recipe then I would say it is baking.

I would say it's baking, maybe easy baking but baking nonetheless. The most important thing is the happiness on their faces.

I like whatever they make. The kids are very..very...very..cute.
