Cake Mix Cookies

Found this recipe on food.com so I could use up a can of cream cheese frosting and the cake mixes collecting dust in my pantry. The whoopie pies were SO GOOD, albeit super sweet (you frost the middle of two cookies to make whoopie pies)! The family we shared them raved about them. I added peanut butter and chocolate chips to half a dozen of them for those who don't like frosting. My kids went gaga. Super easy and super yummy (though I prefer real chocolate chip cookies, these are that much quicker to whip up)! Makes 1 to 2 dozen.

Cake Mix Cookies

1 box cake mix
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 c chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch chips, mixed and matched as desired*

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cake mix, oil, eggs and chips in medium bowl until well combined. Drop by the spoonful on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Let stand 1 minute before transferring to cooling rack or waxed paper to cool.

* I make these into whoopie pies and omit the chips
