Cake Mix Cookies
The closest the ingredients in these cookies have gotten
to quality foods like butter and brown sugar is sitting in the same shopping
cart. However, considering their humble origins, they're surprisingly
ok.
Ingredients:
- 1 box cake mix
- 1/4 c vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Mix wet ingredients, then add boxed cake mix.
The mixture will be quite stiff and difficult to mix,
so if possible use a cake mixer with a powerful motor - a cement mixer
would work even better. If preferred, coat your hands with vegetable oil
so the dough won't stick and mix the dough (literally) by hand.
Roll the dough into balls approximately 1" in diameter.
Place twelve at a time on an ungreased cookie sheet and mash to 1/4"
thickness using a fork.
Bake 7-9 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and cool on
a rack.
Variations:
Passable Peanut Butter
Use yellow cake mix and add 1/2 cup peanut butter to the mixture.
Chocolate Chocolate
Chip
Use chocolate cake mix. Add 8 oz chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Speckled cookies
Make one batch of peanut butter dough and one batch of chocolate chocolate
chip. Mash the two doughs together.
