cake mix cookies {so easy!}


I needed cookies this morning........fast.

There were two problems with this:
1) I am out of white flower
2) I had 45 minutes

Then, I had an Oprah "Aha moment"
ok, so it wasn't an "Aha moment" it was more like an
"Oh My Gosh.......didn't I get some Cake Mix cookies from my neighbor one day?
.....I actually HAVE a cake mix!"

That has GOT TO be easy! So I dash to the computer and what do you know, there are
hundreds of variations of the cake mix cookie. This is the one I used. They were soft, rich, sweet and most importantly SO EASY!!!
1 package any cake mix
1/2 cup butter softened
1 egg
Combine all ingredients at low speed until thoroughly moistened. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 9 - 12 minutes. {I did mine for 10).Cool 2 minutes, remove from pans.
If desired:
Add 1 cup of chocolate chips 0r 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Frost them, sandwich them, sprinkle them.....whatever!
Sound Easy Enough? Trust me, it is!
Here is where I found the recipe and all the different variations.

s'mores cupcakes

Graham Cracker has to be one of my favorite flavors.
I know, how old am I 3?
But its true, I love it. I once had
graham cracker Ice Cream
at a state fair and to this day it remains
one of my top 10 favorite flavors EVER!
Sadly I have never seen it again, hence why I have purchased
an ice cream maker and will be posting about it soon........
So, obviously when I see a recipe with
graham cracker in it I bolt to the kitchen to make it!
Oopsy Daisy has the recipe here.
P.S. If you are one of those people who scrapes
their pie filling off of thier graham
cracker crust........save it for me.
