Anyway, these cookies are some of my husband's favorites, and they're one of mine too because they're so simple. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter 1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp milk
1 box dark chocolate cake mix
Heat oven to 350. Cream the butter (if it's a little bit melted, it's ok). Beat in egg, vanilla, and milk. Thoroughly mix in cake mix by hand. Drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet, then flatten with fingertips. These cookies spread a little but not much. Bake for about 7 minutes - do not overbake, they will look puffy when they are ready. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.
So here's some awesome things about these cookies. First, they are very soft and nice. Second, they actually taste better as cookies than as cookie dough, which means that more of them end up as cookies. And third, they don't have to be chocolate - they can literally be made in any flavor, for any occasion.
Think about it. The main ingredient is a cake mix. It can be customized to any taste or occasion. For Thanksgiving, use a spice cake mix. For Valentine's Day, use a strawberry cake mix, then dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate. During the summer, use a lemon cake mix, and in the winter use a vanilla cake mix and add mint extract and red or green food coloring. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination - and the WalMart baking aisle. See why these are the best cookies ever?
