Cake Cookies

My uncle introduced this interesting and irresistible recipe to my cousins and I earlier this year. After we DEVOURED his box of cookies that he had setting on the table (rule number 1: never leave 4 boys near an open box of fresh made cookies) he told us his secret recipe which I have now informed ya'll.


Yes that's right you are looking at the only ingredients to some of the best and easiest cookies that you can make. I know, I know you are going to make fun of this but trust me they are good! The real interesting thing about this cake mix is the sheer number of different kinds of cookies you can make. You can take any flavor of mix there is....that's right Betty Crocker has over 20 different cake flavors and I haven't found one that is bad. There are a few that you taste them and think only a child would like that flavor (just for reference the orange mix taste like Trix cereal). Right now our personal favorites are the Dark Chocolate and the French Vanilla, but I am looking forward to trying all the flavors that we get out here in the desert.


Just for laughs I had to throw in a close up of the eggs that we get here in Doha, Qatar. The eggs are from Saudi Arabia and have stamped on them (XL) 'Have a nice day'. Such cordial chickens over here!


And now for what ya'll really want to know....the actual recipe!

Here is a time lapse of me eating one right out of the oven....these don't last very long with only two people in the house!

  1. I was a guinea pig (and a bit of a cautious one at that) but I loved the cookies and plan to make a few myself! I am sure they are not good for my diabetes, but everything in moderation!!
