Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies ...


Recently, we attended a Blue & Gold ceremony for the Boy Scouts.  One of the leaders made this recipe and I raved over how light and buttery the cookies were.  (In fact ... they tasted almost just like my Great Grandma's absent, yet extremely coveted recipe!)  Because they tasted so closely to Great Grandma's (and because I have spent a great deal of my adult life searching for anything resembling her cookies), I promptly hurried home to make my very own batch.

Final verdict ... they aren't Great Grandma's, but they were very yummy!  Light and buttery and gone in a flash!

(The search continues ...)  

Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
  • 1 box favorite Duncan Hines cake mix
  • Optional 1 bag of chocolate chips
  • 1 jumbo egg
  • 1 stick softened butter or margarine

Baking Instructions:
  1. Empty Duncan Hines Cake Mix in a large bowl.
  2. Add in jumbo egg.
  3. Plus the slightly softened butter.
  4. Add chocolate chips.
  5. Mix until combined.
  6. Place dough by spoonful on greased cookie sheet.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes, 7 for chewy, 10 for crisp and brown.
