This is a super-simple cookie recipe for when you don't have a lot of time to put cookie dough together, but you do have a box of cake mix on the shelf.
CAKE MIX COOKIES
1 box commercial cake mix, any flavor
½ cup salad oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup "additions" (chopped nuts, chocolate chips, flaked coconut, whatevs) (optional)
a teaspoon or so extract of choice*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, blend together cake mix, oil and eggs. If desired, add "additions" and stir to mix. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake 10-12 minutes.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Suggested combinations:
devil's food cake mix & white or semisweet chocolate chips
spice cake mix & tart apple, chopped
chocolate cake mix & crushed peppermint candies
lemon cake mix & crushed lemon drop candies
carrot cake mix & chopped macadamias
Basically, go nuts!
*Adding a teaspoon of related flavor extract (vanilla, almond, orange, lemon, coconut, mint, etc.) to the batch makes a big difference in the quality of the finished cookies.
