I was going to make cookies today, but feel kind of lazy.
So I'll fall back on my quickie version.
I use the boxes of grocery store cake mix, but leave out the water they call for.
Some brands call for cooking oil, but I keep coming back to Betty Crocker that calls for butter.
It goes:
1 box Betty Crocker any flavor cake mix.
1/3 cup melted butter
It calls for 3 eggs, but I only use 2.
Mix well....... it takes about a minute or two... There's your quickie cookie dough.
Bake at 350F for about 10-12 minutes.
For a really good version of Chinese Almond cookies:
Betty Crocker yellow cake mix.
2 tsp Almond flavor
1 egg, and the melted butter. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Roll into 1" balls, put on cookie sheet, press a almond onto the top.
For chocolate chip cookies- just add in about 1/2 a bag of chocolate chips or M&Ms.
Not exactly like Grandma used to make, but nobody has complained about them either.:bigsmyl2:
