Spooky Cake Mix Cookies #Recipe Peg Cochran/Margaret Loudon #Halloween

 

I bought what I thought was a mix for brownies and you can imagine my disappointment when I got home from the store and discovered I'd picked up a chocolate cake mix instead.  I didn't want to make a cake--I had nothing to frost it with.  I went searching on the Internet and found you could make cookies from a cake mix!  Making cookies can be so fiddly, and I'm terrible when it comes to decorating them.  This was so easy it was practically criminal.  And adding googly eyes gave the cookies a spooky Halloween look.  Note:  the cookies are on the softer side.

1 box cake mix (I used chocolate)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
Sprinkles, googly eyes or other edible seasonal decor 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. 

 

Combine cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.

 

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Affix desired decorations.

 

Bake 6 to 10 minutes (your timing may vary.)  Let cool on cookie sheet then transfer to wire racks.
