These cookies are absolutely flavorful and fast to make. I like to make all my baking from scratch but if you need a quick fix with cookies or a last minute dessert, this is it!

Need cookies for dinner guests or an afternoon tea party?

1 box of any cake mix

1 stick of butter ( or ) 1/2 cup of canola oil

1 egg

( Optional ) to add to the cookie mixture.
mini chocolate chips
mini marshmallows
walnuts ( any kind of nuts )

Mix the egg and butter into the cake mix.

Add any additional flavors, chocolate chips etc.

Scoop up the cookie dough and use your hands to roll into a ball form.

Make sure all the cookie balls are about the same size. Place on a cookie sheet on parchment paper about 1/2 inch apart. Cookies will not spread. You can also drop the cookie dough with a spoon but the cookies will not look as nice as the hand rolled cookies.

Makes 3-4 dozen cookies depends on the size of the cookie rolled balls.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes

For Butter pecan cookies add 2 eggs and pecans with a Butter pecan yellow cake mix.

Chocolate cookies add mini chocolate chips and chocolate cake mix ( 1 egg )

Lemon cookies add lemon extract to a lemon cake mix than dust the cookies in powder sugar
