A. Easy Cake Mix Cookies (4 recipes)
by Rachel Keller
If you love cookies, but are short on time, try making these delicious cookies which start with a cake mix. You can make a wide variety of cookies by using different cake mixes.
This recipe is so incredibly easy!
Easy Cake Mix Cookie #1
1 pkg. any flavor Pillsbury Plus Cake Mix
1/2 c. margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
Combine all ingredients at low speed until thoroughly moistened. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. Cool two minutes; remove from pans.
Tips: If using chocolate cake mix, add 2 Tbsp. water to ingredients
If desired, stir in 1 c. chocolate chips or 1/2 c. chopped nuts.
If desired, frost cookies with your favorite flavor of frosting.
For sandwich cookies, spread frosting between 2 cookies.
Cake Mix Cookie #2
About five years ago, I discovered a recipe for German Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies. I have since adapted the recipe and now make many different cookies using this basic recipe. I love the versatility and ease of this recipe!
Yields about 4 dozen cookies
1 box cake mix (any variety)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (can substitute caramel or peanut butter chips or do a combination)
1/ 2 -1 cup oatmeal (I always put in as much as I can!)
1 /2 cup oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/ 2 cup raisins (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, blending well. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little water. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute before removing form the cookie sheets.
For altitudes above 3500 feet, add 1/ 4 cup flour to dry cake mix.
Variation: Use white cake mix and add a pudding mix. I added strawberry, for tasty pink cookies. If you use pudding, you will need to add some water (about 1/4 cup). Also, the pudding tends to make the cookies sweeter.
Cake Mix Cookie #3
Yields about 2 dozen.
1 (9 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix (or your favorite flavor)
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
*1/2 cup chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms (your preference)
* For a healthier cookie, substitute raisins in place of the chips.
Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, oatmeal, butter and egg. Stir in the chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool.
Devil’s Food Cookies
Yields about 5 dozen cookies.
1 (18.5-ounce) package devil’s food cake mix without pudding
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 (1.45-ounce) milk chocolate bars, divided into squares (optional)
1/2 cup coconut (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Stir in the pecans. Drop batter by teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely on wire racks.
Optional: While the cookies are still on the pan, place 1 square of milk chocolate on each; spread gently to frost. Sprinkle with coconut.

is thiamin mononitrate in cookies ok for my dog?
Q. My dogs love these vanilla sandwich cookies and they have thiamin mononitrate in them and was wondering if they were ok for him to eat. We give him about 3 to 4 a day.
A. Thiamine is a vitamin. It is the chemical name for what we know as vitamin B one. Dogs do need thiamine in their diet and it is usually formulated into their kibble. People who feed raw or cook for their dogs should make sure that they are getting the proper nutrition and if they need vitamin supplements to add to their homemade recipes, they should do that.
In answer to your question, no thiamine mononitrate is not harmful to your dog.
On the other hand, feeding your dog 3-4 human sandwich cookies a day is overdosing them on everything else that is totally not nutritious and should NOT be in a dogs diet. Dogs should NOT have sugars...
Hope this was helpful..I do recommend you do some research online and find some dog healthy alternatives to people cookies. Yes, they do love them and they do get addicted to sugar and crave it..just like people. But their systems are not meant to be processing sugar.
There are some great homemade cookies you can bake...containing cheese, oats, flaxseed..try looking at Allrecipes.com or Best-dog-treats.com.
