Because when I write things here, I don't lose them.

...and also, I can access it from anyone's house. And besides, I may as well share the recipe for the best/easiest cookies EVAR!

Cake Batter Cookies
1 box duncan hines cake mix (probably any brand would do)
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
3 tbsp water

Mix, blob on cookie sheet, bake at 350 for about 6 minutes. Get ready to pig out.

Many thanks to kitfoxx's mama

Is that really the recipe?

I thought I used 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, and 2 tbsp water. It's close though. I always use white cake mix. Not to say it wouldn't work with other colors. But we make 'em with white. Don't make the mistake of thinking a "done" cookie is brown! With white cake mix, they will be white cookies! Usually just the very edge will be lightly brown. After making them a few times you'll be able to tell by glancing at them if they're done or underdone. Some ovens need up to about 8 minutes.

And where did this come from? Did I give you the recipe once, or did mom send you a care package? (I will be insanely jealous yet pleased if she did.)

My recipe came from teh internets. Every time I make them I Google it, and it occured to me that Google may some day cease to find this page for me, or the page might be taken down, so I should copy it.
My favorite fruit dip recipe just happens to be directly above it too, so this must be a good page.

I like mixing it up. Pineapple cake mix is really good. French vanilla is good. Banana wasn't that great. :)

You did send me the recipe once. But I got impatient and Googled it before you had a chance to respond, so that's what I do when I'm not at home and I needa bake cookies. :D

Well if you decide you want to try a slight variation on consistency, you can try mine mentioned above. (:

Cake box cookies really are the best ever! :D

We made chocolate cake batter cookies this weekend. Not as good. But then I've never been much for chocolate cake.
I had to put in an extra egg, and a little bit of extra oil- that is, your recipe, not the one I originally posted. I didn't have enough wet for all of the cake batter powder. :)

I may not have liked them as well, but they were gone within 4 hours anyhue. :D

I think I tried that once too, just mixing the ingredients the package wanted, minus the water.
Not sure I'd like funfetti. I don't like little bits of anything getting between my tastebuds and the cake. Mmmm. Cake.

Side note

The Purdue dorms used to serve a different flavor of soft serve every day, and about once a month or so they'd have yellow cake batter flavor. Ooooooooh that was good.
