Cake Mix Cookies ... I love soft cookies, These
were served at a National Pike Foundation Meeting so I had to get the recipe.
These are great for the kids!!!
1 cake mix
1/3 C. applesauce (NO FAT!!!)
2 eggs
2 C. Good Stuff (chips of any flavor, raisins, mini M & M's, nuts,
etc.)
In a mixing bowl, combine everything but the Good Stuff (Dough will
be stiff). Stir in the Good Stuff by hand to prevent breakage. Drop by
rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350* for 8-10
minutes or until golden. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet then remove to
wire rack. Store in air tight container (kid tight too if you want them
to last until desert!). I like to add a tablespoon of vanilla butter nut
extract and 2C. of english walnuts! The kids like to sprinkle colored sugar
on top. This is a fun recipe to be creative with!!!
Cut-Out Cookies ... My Aunt Ann makes her World Famous Cut-Out Cookies every Christmas. I brush them lightly with water before sprinkling them with colored sugar. We have even brushed them with food coloring. This year ('97) the kids did all of the sprinkling. We had pink stars and stockings and blue trees. They thought the cookies were beautiful and that is all that matters!!!
