Do you find yourself pressed for time during the holiday season and even though you have your hands full decorating, wrapping gifts and cleaning house you still need to make something for yet another Christmas party? I have a quick and delicious answer to your baking woes! My recipe for Cake Mix Cookies was adapted from a few cake box versions. The cake mix does most of the pesky work for you since it saves on time and ingredients - the trick though is in the fixings! 
✩~*✩*~✩CAKE MIX COOKIES✩~*✩*~✩
This recipe starts with a handy dandy cake mix and ends with cookies that are full of moist, chewy goodness! You can use any cake mix flavour and add your choice of baking chips, dried fruits, and chopped nuts. For a festive look you could use smarties or M&M's.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Spray cookie sheet with oil or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Ingredients:
1 box cake mix (dry state) 510 g. (18. ounces)
Hint: the yellow cake mix is very versatile
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
*1/2 cup dried fruit - raisins, cranberries, coconut, etc.
*1/4 cup chopped nuts
*1/2 cup baking chips - milk chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, etc.
*You can adjust these amounts to suit your taste
Preparation:
Using a large dinner fork, combine cake mix with vegetable oil and eggs. Fold in baking chips, dried fruit, and chopped nuts. If dough seems to thick then add small amounts of water to get the consistency for drop cookies.
Drop tablespoonful amounts of dough on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges but do not over bake!
Cook Time: 10 - 12 minutes
Yield: makes about 2 dozen large cookies
Cool on racks. Store leftovers in a covered container.

Great idea. Can`t wait to try them!
Thanks for stopping by Donna! How are you making out with all your shopping and baking this holiday season? I just made up another recipe that starts with a cake mix and plan to share it here. I was making a cake for Mel's birthday and just happened to notice some coffee liqueur! ;-)
Hi Wanda! Tis the very busy season for baking and shopping, that's for sure! I work with seniors, and we're doing a tea social/bake sale fundraiser this Monday, so I popped by here again to write down this recipe. I'll be baking my little socks off all day tomorrow getting ready for the sale.
How are you managing so far this season?
Please tell Melvin I said happy birthday!
