I meant to post this back in December, but moving at Christmas time made it difficult. These cookies would be perfect for a cookie exchange, a bake sale or classroom parties. I have had this recipe since high school. A friend of mine brought them to a class Christmas party and I have baked them now for 20 years. My oldest son likes to whip up a batch. He then gets a big cold glass of milk and will sit and eat about a dozen. A perfect cookie for kids, because as my kids would say there is nothing “weird” in it.
What you will need:
1 Box of Devils Food Cake Mix
2 Tablespoons of Water
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup of Shortening
1/2 Cup Powder Sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. You will mix the cake mix, water, eggs, and shortening in a bowl. You must mix by hand, not with an electric mixer. It does get hard to mix it all in, so after a few stirs, I use my hand to mix it really good. Roll you a ball of the cookie dough about the size of a walnut. Then you roll the cookie ball around in your powdered sugar, give it a nice thick coat. Place on your cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen.
