Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Cake Mix) image

I am occasionally called on mass produce cookies for events and need recipes which deliver homemade results with ease. A handy supply of cake mixes allow me to do just that. This particular recipe combines some elements of my favorite scratch recipes starting with a yellow cake mix. The cookies are slightly crispy on the outside and tender and chewy in the center.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (18 1/2 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (measure after chopping)
2 1/4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1/4 cup water
1 1/4 cups raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cream together the butter, shortening, egg, brown sugar and vanilla.
  • Add in the cake mix, cinnamon and walnuts until well mixed. Combine in the oatmeal and water. Depending on your mixer you may need to do this by hand.
  • Stir in the raisins. The amount of raisins is really a matter of personal taste. If you like raisins, start with 1 cup and decide if you want more. If you love raisins, start with the full amount and add and up to an additional 1/2 cup.
  • Place level tablespoons of dough on to a cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Flatten tops a bit as the cookies retain their shape. That is they do not melt down as some cookies do.
  • Bake at for 14 minutes, cookies should be lighted browned at the edges and and pale on top. If you like a crisper cookie, add 2 minutes to the baking time.
  • Note: Baking times are for the stated size which yield a nice two-bite sized cookie great for events. If you are making larger cookies, please adjust your baking time accordingly.
