Thursday Treats

Cookies are my mom's favorite thing to bake. We give treats to our trashmen 2 times a week, and it is usually cookies. We bake a lot of cookies in December, too. Here is a recipe that is quick and easy to do when time is short. We get a lot of compliments on these cookies, and there is no limit to the different ways or kinds you can make.

CAKE MIX COOKIES

1 package cake mix
1/2 cup better or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

add:
1 cup of chocolate chips or
1 cups of raisins or
1 cup of raspberry chips or
1 cup of cinnamon chips
or... nuts or whatever.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the butter and vanilla, adding the eggs; add in the cake mix.
Mix together until smooth.
Stir in chips or raisins or nuts.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls on to an ungrease cookie sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.
Cool 1 minute; remove to wire rack.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

Some combinations we have made are:

Strawberry cake mix with Dark chocolate chips
Spice cake mix with Raisins and cinnamon chips
Orange cake mix with milk chocolate chips
Devils food cake mix with semisweet chocolate chips
French vanilla cake mix with raspberry chips
Butter recipe cake mix with semisweet chocolate chips

and so on!

This sounds up my alley! I almost made some last Saturday, but I couldn't find a "cup of" anything in my pantry to put in them! And the cake mix was dated 2004. Are you surprised?

I'll try again another time. I enjoy reading your blog!
