Cake Mix Cookies (Snickerdoodles)

By Hklbrries

"Dee King called recently searching for a recipe for Cake Mix Cookies.

Just after her call, a recipe appeared in the Hints from Heloise column which calls for adding 1/2 cup oil and 2 eggs to any 18.25-ounce box cake mix and then baking them in a 350 F oven.

King called back to say she'd tried the recipe, but the batter was much too stiff and she could barely stir it, so she'd added an extra egg to the batter.

I'm sure her version turned out fine. But I tested it at home just to be sure this well-circulated recipe was correct.

The stirring did get a little bit hard, but thick batter actually stays soft while you finish stirring. My cookies turned out nicely with just those two ingredients..."
