Cake Mix Cookies
This is a favorite of mine that I started doing last Summer! With a few minor alterations to a standard cake mix, you can create cookies. The best thing about this is that the combinations are limited by your imagination. For this recipe, I’m using Red Velvet Cake mix with Cream Cheese icing. Although you can do anything your little heart desires! Ready? Okay here we go……….
Ingredients:
1 package of cake mix
1 large egg
1/4 cup of oil
1/4 cup of water
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix, egg, oil, & water. Beat until well blended. Now it’s going to be more of a dough than batter. If you’re adding anything extra (nuts, etc) do it now.
2. Drop by 1inch rounded teaspoons on to a greased cookie sheet. I like to lightly coat a spoon with whatever spray I used on the cookie sheet because it makes it about ten times easier to transfer/mold the dough.
3. Oven times may vary a bit, but in general the 8-10 minute range is enough. Remember to take carryover in to consideration and not over do it.
4. If you wish to ice your cookies, give them about 30 minutes to cool. If you don’t have that kind of time, you can flash cool them in the refridgerator for 5-7 minutes.
And that, my dears, is all there is to it!
