Cake Mix Cookies

Sometimes you need something quick and easy, but don't want to a cake from a mix. Well, there are many things you can do with a cake mix besides make cake, and one of my favorites is to make cake mix cookies. You can use any flavor cake mix, and do anything you like as a mix in, or just keep them plain. Try chocolate chips, nuts, coconut, dried fruit.

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c oil
• 1/4 c water
• 2 c mix ins

For my cookies, I did a yellow cake mix and mixed in chocolate chips. I also wanted to mix up the flavors a little so I put a little bit of peppermint extract in to give it just a hint of peppermint flavor.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Place spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a cooling rack

 

These cookies are light, fluffy and soft. So, how do you keep them that way? See in them all in the green bucket? One of these is not like the other ones...Yep, there's a piece of bread packed in with the cookies. This is a great way to use the ends of the bread that no one wants to eat anyway. Anytime you make cookies, after they are cooled put them in a sealed container with a piece of bread. The bread dries out, and the cookie miraculously stay nice and soft.

I have several more things I need to share with you, but I seem to have lost the camera cord, so once that is found be ready for a funfetti bake off, assorted craft items, and the best cake ever made (sweet & salty - chocolate with salted caramel filling, and a caramel ganache - don't worry if you mouth is watering, so is mine).
