    List of Ingredients




    Easy Cake Mix Cookie #1
    1 pkg. any flavor Pillsbury Plus Cake Mix
    1/2 c. margarine or butter, softened
    1 egg

    Combine all ingredients at low speed until thoroughly moistened. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. Cool two minutes; remove from pans.

    Tips: If using chocolate cake mix, add 2 Tbsp. water to ingredients

    If desired, stir in 1 c. chocolate chips or 1/2 c. chopped nuts.

    If desired, frost cookies with your favorite flavor of frosting.

    For sandwich cookies, spread frosting between 2 cookies.

    Cake Mix Cookie #2
    Yields about 4 dozen cookies

    1 box cake mix (any variety)
    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (can substitute caramel or peanut butter chips or do a combination)
    1/ 2 -1 cup oatmeal (I always put in as much as I can!)
    1 /2 cup oil
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    1/ 2 cup raisins (optional)
    1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
    nuts (optional)

    Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, blending well. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little water. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute before removing form the cookie sheets.

    For altitudes above 3500 feet, add 1/ 4 cup flour to dry cake mix.

    Variation: Use white cake mix and add a pudding mix. I added strawberry, for tasty pink cookies. If you use pudding, you will need to add some water (about 1/4 cup). Also, the pudding tends to make the cookies sweeter.

    Cake Mix Cookie #3
    Yields about 2 dozen.

    1 (9 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix (or your favorite flavor)
    2/3 cup oatmeal
    1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
    1 egg
    1/2 cup chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms (your preference)

    For a healthier cookie, substitute raisins in place of the chips.

    Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, oatmeal, butter and egg. Stir in the chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool.

    Devil’s Food Cookies
    Yields about 5 dozen cookies.

    1 (18.5-ounce) package devil’s food cake mix without pudding
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/2 cup chopped pecans
    6 (1.45-ounce) milk chocolate bars, divided into squares (optional)
    1/2 cup coconut (optional)

    Preheat oven to 350. Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Stir in the pecans. Drop batter by teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely on wire racks.

    Optional: While the cookies are still on the pan, place 1 square of milk chocolate on each; spread gently to frost. Sprinkle with coconut.
