Easy and Delicious Cookies that Start with a Cake Mix!
Something we seem to have less and less of is time. But that shouldn't prevent us from making homemade goodies! You can probably think back of when you were a child, and remember the smell of fresh-baked cookies in your mom or grandma's kitchen. It's a smell even candle companies often try to re-create.
I've found a way to make great homemade and inexpensive cookies with a shortcut - a box of cake mix. It's a great starter for many kinds of cookies, as you will see in the recipes below. Enjoy!
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
This is my all-time favorite cake mix cookie. It's so easy to whip up, and once people try them they'll be asking you for the recipe!

* 1/3 cup vegetable oil
* 2 eggs
Granulated Sugar
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake mix, oil and eggs in large bowl with spoon until dough forms.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Variations:
*Add a gourmet chocolate kiss to the center of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.
*Try any other chocolate cake mix.

3. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. 4. In microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted; stir. Frost cookies.

- Thanks for this awesome recipe of the chocolate crinkle cookie, I really love it! And yes, I'm quite a sucker for fresh-baked smells from my mother's kitchen when I was just a child. The crinkles can be perfect wedding favors.
