Need a quick dessert?

Have you ever forgotten about a get-together that you have to bring a snack or dessert to?  Well here's a quick dessert you can make with just a few things from the pantry. 

Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 small package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional:
1/2 cup of chopped nuts

Directions:
  1. Beat eggs, oil water in bowl.
  2. Add cake mix and blend together.
  3. Stir in chocolate chips (and optional chopped nuts).
  4. Spoon onto cookie sheet.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges are brown and center is puffed.
Quick Note:
You can make several different types of cookies with this recipe.  Next time try some of my family's favorites:
  • Chocolate cake mix and white chocolate chips
  • Yellow cake mix, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts (my husband's favorite!)
  • Spice cake and walnuts
Just get in the kitchen and experiment with your favorites or with whatever you have in the pantry.  Don't forget to share your creations with us!
