Easy Cookie Recipe - From my Mother to Me
It's important for you all to know that I don't cook, bake, or grill well. That's an understatement. Some trigger in my brain goes off that just shuts down it's entire processes when cooking. I get flustered, unaware and agitated when cooking. I'm normally a very intelligent person but something comes over me when I'm in the kitchen.
We eat a lot of boxed meals if I'm in charge of dinner. I thank God for my wonderful mother who always brings me homemade food and baked goods. She freezes homemade meals for me and sends them over so my family is fed for a week. My mother is the world's greatest cook and baker. She's the type who sees something on the Food Network and makes it the next day. She makes it perfect too! Just like Bobby Flay was in the kitchen. What happen to me?
One day my Mom gave me what she called the Easy Cookie Recipe. And it really was EASY!
When I was asked to do a recipe lens for the Rocket Moms assignment I didn't have a recipe. I don't cook! I'm insulted that you think all Moms cook... ha ha Just kidding. But I don't have any recipes, there's no recipe books in our house.....so I'm going to give you the easy cookie recipe my Mom made for me. I hope you enjoy it.
Easy Cookie Recipe Ingredients & Baking Instructions

1 Box Cake Mix - Any Kind (I used Funfetti)
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Large Eggs
Preheat oven to 350
Mix in bowl thoroughly
Roll dough into balls (they expand a lot)
Place on non-stick cookie sheet and smash down with a fork (you can use the bottom of a cup too).
Place in center of oven and bake for 7 min
Tah Dah!
Cookies

The Taste Test Results are IN!!


It can be Made with ANY Flavor Cake Mix!

You can use chocolate, yellow cake, lemon, cherry, any flavor cake mix you desire with my Mom's Easy Cookie Recipe
I know they're not pretty in the picture folks but that's not the point. You can obviously take more time than I did and make yours look uniform and nice. I don't cook that way. As long as it tastes good. I'm Happy!

- These sound really great. I have another easy recipe for you, that sound weird but actually comes out really good. My mother in law makes this cake for her husband who can't have much sugar or cholesterol. You take any cake mix, pour in a 9x12 pan, then add a half can of any diet pop to it, mix and bake at 350 until done. It is really good and so simple!

- Made these today when neighbourhood kids came over...great idea! 3 ingredients! Sooooo easy, easy clean up, fast...etc...thanks for this!
Also, great easy way to introduce kids to cooking...rather than dragging out flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, etc...my kid can make these easy by himself (with a little help with the oven).
New fav!

- Really, you can make cookies from a cake mix? You learn something everyday here on Squidoo. I'm cutting way back on cookies, I overindulged this winter and now I'm trying to get back on track. Squid Angel blessed for this great recipe!
