I love quick recipes! These have only 4 ingredients (one of which is water) and are super fluffy. They are also lower in fat than most cookies, as there is only 4 tablespoons of shortening in the entire batch. I made mine with devil's food cake mix, but will soon be trying angel food among others.
Total Time: 15-20 minutes
Yield: 24 cookies

I've been making cake-mix cookies for years - usually when our local humane society is having a bake sale. I can make many varieties quickly. I tend to call 'em "1-2-3 cookies" because I use one box of cake mix, two eggs, and 1/3 cup of oil. 10 minutes (+-) at 350 (depends on your area and your oven, of course). Any variety of cake mix, and add any other goodies you can think of...
I like the recipe for quick cookies but I would use butter instead of shortening. Butter is a natural and better for you shortening where shortening is a chemical
I agree Jackie....You're right, butter would be healthier. Thanks for the suggestion.:)
These would be good with chocolate chips in them, except I guess they wouldn't be lowfat anymore.
I frequently use a cake mix cookie recipe from all recipes.com that calls for vegetable oil though I recently tried one that used real butter & it was delicious! Cake mix cookies are a great alternative for when you don't have ingredients for a homemade batch and crave something other than your typical chocolate chip or sugar cookies.
That even looks easy enough for me to bake!! Can't wait to try. Thank you
They look delicious!
Those look delicious! I must say, I have never heard of this before. I can't wait to try it!
These look like a quick and simple project to do with the kids. And a nice treat.
Try this with the angel food mix; they're scrumptious!
1 angel food cake mix
1/2 c water
14 oz flaked coconut
1 t almond extract
1/2 c slivered almonds
Mix and scoop into 2T cookies. Bake @ 350 until golden.
Thanks Pamela, your idea sounds fantastic. I will be trying this!:)
I've been making cakemix cookies for years for our church bazaar where I have to make a whole lot of them. I just use one egg and one stick of softened butter. Whenever butter is on sale for under $3 I always buy the limit. It never seems to go bad.
