Today I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix. Added 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup chopped well-drained maraschino cherries, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 350F for 12 minutes. Ohhhhhh!
CJ, try orange cake mix, white baking chips, chopped nuts, and fresh orange zest.

the cookbook is 11dollars and change. lots of rave reviews. few negative. it isn't just cookies it is bars as well. i read all the reviews and they really sounded good.
i would order it i think. though i got the cake mix doctor and was really not impressed. made a couple of the cakes and didn't care for them.
we have come up with wonderful sounding flavors and additions. don't need the book but might be nice to have at that price.

i'm thinking dried pineapple . you would need to cut it smaller. of course. i also found on line groc. store . a product called shaved nuts. in pecans etc. would be smaller than chopped and it is less expensive.
i think the cinnamon chips would also be good in carrot cake mix.

last night i made cookies from a lemon cake mix. used just 1/4 oil , 2 tbs water and vanilla. a beautiful cookie, not at all oily and tender. dusted tops with powder sugar.

SO no eggs at all.. how was the batter to spoon out? Were the cookies firmer than the ones made with 2 eggs and 1/2 C oil?
Curious minds want to know.
i just goofed and didn't type the eggs. used two eggs same as always. every thing else was accurate. they were a little firmer. i think only one tablespoon of water would be the key.
of course they weren't as oily, they did not spread as much. a cake like cookie with a really good texture. they did take 15 min to cook, they did not crumble when i ate them.

sorry bout the goof.

I love pecan cookies, so I bought a Betty Crocker Butter Pecan cake mix. To this I add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, along with the 1/2 cup of veg. oil and the 2 eggs. They turned out so good. Thanks, babetoo.
Dave, it's not a Betty Crocker one, but check out this one for sale at Amazon. 175 recipes. Enough to keep us all busy for a long time.

I think, if I'm remembering correctly, chapter 7 of your book is all cookies from cake mix, babe. Guess we'd better get busy makin' cookies.

Thanks Katie! Thanks babe!
Our youth are having their fourth annual community service conference the beginning of July and their budget is really low. I coordinate lunches and dinners for them and donate a lot of stuff for them to sell in their nightly cafe. These cookies, in various flavours should really be a hit.
Since I make my living off of my home baked cakes, I may have to walk into the grocery store in disguise or pay some kid to go in and get the mixes for me.
