QUICK AND EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES

By á-25393

This recipe may be made with white, yellow or chocalate cake mix.

Ingredients

• I lg box Mrs Fields or two 9 oz boxes Loretta cake mix (white yellow or chocolate)
• 2 room temperature large eggs
• 1/3 cup canola, corn or vegetable oil
• SIMPLE COOKIE GLAZE
• 2 1/4 Cups icing (confectioners) sugar
• 2 Tablespoons white corn syrup (regular will do but white makes a snow white glaze)
• 2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients well using a wooden spoon, rubber spatula or mixer.

Form balls slightly than a golf ball and smaller than a tennis ball and transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet. (I prefer to line my pans with parchment paper as there is absolutely no sticking and keeps your pans like new).

(The dough may feel oily but that is to be expected.)

Pat the balls using the palm of your hand into a 2, 2 1/2 or 4 inch circle depending upon how you plan to decorate the cookies..

Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 to 9 minutes until just golden brown and a lightly touched finger leaves no imprint. Remove to a rack to cool.

Icing Directions:
In a small bowl, beat with a whisk or hand mixer until it is about the texture of thick cold honey. Divide and tint as desired with liquid or gel food colouring. (Gel gives a deeper co;our to your icing.) Use an offset spatula or knife to spread glaze and work quickly as it hardens faster than butter icings.
