Like the taste of home made cookies, but you're pressed for time (or cash), or don't know much about baking? Have to come up with something for school lunches, school parties...or just have a munch that must be satisfied now...(and the sooner the better lol) Then these are the perfect cookies for you. There's only 3 ingredients, and are so extremely easy that my 8 yr old grandson can mix them up and I do the oven part.
Easy Cake Mix Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
1 box cake mix
1/2 cup of softened margarine (1 sticks worth)
1 egg
Combine the 3 ingredients into a bowl and stir until moistened. Drop by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Place them 2 inches apart because they'll spread some.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes.
Sometimes I add a handful of chocolate chips, or even 2/3 cup of oatmeal to make them a little different. You can use any flavor cake mix, chocolate, vanilla, or whatever suits your fancy that day. I've found that it doesn't matter in the least whether you use a name brand cake mix, or the cheapest on the shelf. I use the cheap ones there is no difference in the flavor of the cookies at all. For the margarine, only use the stick kind, tub butter doesn't work well.
When I make mine, I use a small sized melon scooper, then slice each one of those in half, roll it into a ball and put it on the cookie sheet. Doing it that way, I always get uniform sized cookies, and with the melon ball sized, you get more cookies. My family loves them and asks for these more than most of the other cookie recipes I have.
