My Newest Cookbook
We bought this book this past weekend. It was in the bargain area of Barnes and Noble. This book has some great recipes. I made Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies today and they are a hit! The yellow cake mix makes a better cookie dough than homemade cookie dough...the cookies just have a better flavor. I had to add more time to the baking time than the recipe called for. I'm not sure if it's my oven or the recipe. I should check the oven temperature one of these days.
There are plenty of fancier recipes for occasions such as picnics, holidays, etc.
In all, a really handy book and one I'm sure I'll use quite a bit.
**Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies**
1--box yellow cake mix (MY note: butter recipe is good)
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1 1/2 sticks of butter, softened (very soft)
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
In large bowl, mix cake mix, oatmeal, softened butter and eggs. Mix well. (MY note: Batter will be stiff and will take a while to mix properly). Add chocolate chips and mix well. Drop dough by rounded spoonful onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 350 oven for 10-15 minutes. (MY note: 15 minutes seems to be the best baking time.)
I guess you could substitute chocolate cake mix for the yellow cake mix and have double chocolate oatmeal cookies.

Mmmmmmmmm!!!!! This looks so good and once I have an oven, I'll have to try it! I think it sounds better with the butter recipe rather than the chocolate. Also, you'll have to try one of those fancy little layer cakes and show us what you can do! lol
