How to Make Cake Mix Cookies



Make easy cookies with the kids by using a packet of cake mix and turning it into cookies instead of cakes. Here are some simple tips on how to go about this.






Ingredients


* 1 box of your favorite regular cake mix (for example vanilla, butter cream, lemon, orange, chocolate, and butter pecan etc.)
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
* 1 tsp. vanilla (optional)

Steps

1. Purchase your favorite cake mix. Choose the flavor you like the most.
2. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare cookie sheets by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with baking paper.
3. Combine cake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, (and if you used an unflavored cake mix like yellow or white then add 1 tsp. of vanilla) in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon.
4. Spoon teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto cookie sheets into small cookie shapes (a dozen per sheet).
5. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
6. Let cool and then take off cookie sheet. Place onto a wire rack to cool a bit more and to harden a little.
7. Enjoy some cake cookies.


Tips

* You can drizzle some icing over the top. Try heating the icing container for a few seconds (10-15 seems to do nicely).


Warnings

* Watch them closely - They can burn very easily.
* Oven is hot! If making with children, supervise oven use.
