Ok...so these are far from homemade. But trust me when I say they are fantastic. Everytime I've taken them somewhere I'm asked for the recipe, which I embarrassingly provide. :)
Yields about 2 dozen.
1 (9 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix (or your favorite flavor)
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
(following ingrediants are optional)
* 1 tsp almond extract
*1/2 cup chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms (your preference)
* For a healthier cookie, substitute raisins in place of the chips.
I personally love the, "healthier" part. As if there is anything healthy about a stick of butter and cake mix!
Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, oatmeal, butter and egg. Stir in the chips (if using). Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool.
