I made some tasty cookies today. I was first introduced to cake mix cookies at a friend's house, and my life hasn't been the same since. I ate a shameful amount of cookies that night and thought there must have been some special secret ingredient. It was actually quite simple.
Take any regular box of cake mix (I use yellow) and dump it in a mixing bowl. Add two eggs, a stick of butter or margarine, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well. I add one cup of chocolate chips and a half cup of chopped walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. You can make bigger cookies and bake them a little longer.
You can make just about any kind of cookie you want with cake mix as a base. With cookie mixes and even made from scratch cookies I often come close to burning my cookies just trying to get the middle done. I don't like crispy cookies but I also don't like raw ones. Cake mix cookies just seem to cook more evenly. The middle rises up before th bottom burns.
