Cake Mix Cookies (And a Cheater Sugar Cookie Recipe)

With the holidays upon us, I find that having a very simple and easy recipe is always great. You can't get too much simpler or easier than these cookies! These are great for guests that drop by unexpectedly, as well as something to keep people occupied till the feast is revealed.

Here it is!

Cake Mix Cookies
1 package of cake mix (any flavor)
1 large egg
1/4 cup of oil
1/4 cup of water
1 cup TOTAL of chopped nuts, raisins, oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chips, M&M'S® etc. (anything you like in cookies)
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine cake mix, egg, oil, and water. Beat until well blended. Stir in remaining ingredient (s).
Drop by teaspoon about 1 inch apart onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until done.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Ooooh Yummy Perfection!

What's so great about this recipe is the amount of imagination that can go into the variety of flavors of these cookies. You can go simple with a chocolate cake mix and some mint chips. Or you can do what I did, and do a plain vanilla cake mix with no add ins and get a cheater Sugar Cookie. Go crazy and experiment!
