CAKE MIX COOKIES FROM SCRATCH
I have been intrigued by the cake mix cookie recipes published on Allrecipes and discussed in the Recipe Exchange. Between that, and the recurring requests in the Exchange for cookies that don't go flat, and people either unwilling or unable to use boxed cake mix, I was inspired to come up with this recipe. The basic recipe is for chocolate chip cookies. It is easily adaptable and can be customized to your liking.

HELOISE'S CAKE MIX COOKIES
Fast and easy when you don't have enough time to prepare cookies from scratch. If you mix them by hand, they will be flatter and more like a cookie. If you use a mixer, they will be puffier and more like cake. The cake-like version is good with a simple confectioner sugar & milk (or juice if you used an orange or lemon cake mix) glaze.

- Drop by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet about 2-inches apart.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but most cookies are baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating: This will help the frosting or decorations set properly.
