CAKE MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine cake mix, oil and eggs in a bowl and mix well.
• Stir in chips and nuts, if using.
• Drop by teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
• Upon removing from oven, let the cookies stand on sheet for two minutes, then cool on racks.

HOW TO MAKE CAKE MIX WITH PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Additional items needed: Mixing bowl, electric beater, cooking spray/butter, 9x13 inch cake pan, toothpicks.
• 2. Select identical flavors of cake mix and instant-pudding mix, such as chocolate cake mix and chocolate pudding. If you want a more complex cake flavor, select complementing cake and pudding mix flavors, such as yellow cake mix and lemon instant-pudding mix.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 4. Grease the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. (I flour my cake pans as well, but it's not required.)
• 5. Combine the cake and pudding mixes with a spoon in a large mixing bowl.
• 6. Add four eggs, 1 cup water and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. If you wish to make a denser cake (similar to a pound cake) add 1 cup sour cream.
• 7. Beat all the ingredients until combined with an electric mixer on medium speed. The batter will be much thicker than regular cake batter.
• 8. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake it for approximately 50 minutes.
• 9. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and remove it. If the toothpick comes out clean with no raw batter, the cake is done.

CAKE MIX PUDDING COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix together.
• 2. Add eggs and oil and vanilla. Mix well.
• 3. Once dough is mixed add chips and nuts and mix.
• 4. Drop by heaping teaspoons on to greased or parchment lined cookie sheets.
• 5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. They make take more or less time depending on how hot your oven is, so keep an eye on them. Bake until just light golden brown. Let rest on cookie sheet for 10 minutes and move them to a wire rack to cool.
• 6. NOTE: Today I used Funfetti Cake mix vanilla pudding mix and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips-amazing!

BASIC CAKE MIX COOKIES & CAKE/PUDDING MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350f.
• 2. Blend wet ingredients. Add dry mix(es) and blend well, removing any lumps. Add mix-ins if using. (If using pudding mix, note that the dough will be sticky.)
• 3. Drop cookie mix by teaspoonful, one inch apart, onto greased or lined cookie sheets.
• 4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes depending on how crispy you want the cookies. Shorter time for soft, longer time for crispy.
• 5. Arrange cookies on racks to cool. Frost or glaze if desired. (To make glaze, mix sugar and extract/juice in a bowl. Add water/milk until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring if desired.) If you are glazing, consider adding colored sugar or sprinkles for a festive touch. (My kids love that part!) Let the cookies dry completely before packaging or storing.
• 6. **Took my kids shopping to pick out their mix-ins and they had a blast! We will be making our cookies tomorrow and will post pictures then. Here are some of the combinations we came up with: -Strawberry cake with vanilla pudding and vanilla chips -Spice cake with butterscotch pudding, butterscotch and cinnamon chips -Yellow cake with chocolate pudding, peanut butter and chocolate chips -White cake with chocolate pudding and mint chips -White cake with chocolate pudding, peanut butter and butterscotch chips -Vanilla cake with white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and almonds -Lemon cake with dried blueberries and orange glaze

FUDGE CRINKLES (A GREAT 4 INGREDIENT CAKE MIX COOKIE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Stir (by hand) dry cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until dough forms.
• Dust hands with confectioners' sugar and shape dough into 1" balls.
• Roll balls in confectioners' sugar and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is JUST SET.
• Remove from pans after a minute or so and cool on wire racks.
• *My Notes*:.
• I have tried these with several different cake mix brands. They all come out good, but the Betty Crocker does come out the best.
• I was having a problem with my cookies flattening while baking. This usually happens with the generic cake mix brands. You can play with your oven temp and try them on 375 to keep them from spreading. Adding more oil than called for will also cause the cookies to spread -- I wouldn't suggest it, they really don't need extra oil.
• Another way to keep them nice and thick and to get the most "crinkled" or "crackled" look is to make them bigger. When I roll them at about 1.5 inches they look prettier.
• And my best tip: My confectioners' sugar was consistently being absorbed by the dough. The last time I baked them, I rolled them into balls without rolling in the sugar and let them "dry" for a few minutes. Then I rolled them in sugar and baked. These came out with a nice coating of sugar that didn't disappear.
