Cake Batter Cookies

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes.  It's the recipe I go to when I need to make a lot of cookies.  They're great for a bake sale.

Usually.

Last weekend I made them for my girls to sell at a yard sale.  They need to raise money for short missions trips they're going on this summer and I thought this would be a great way to go.

I think we ended up buying more cookies than anyone who came to the yard sale!  They did make a little bit of money though.  I guess New Englanders just aren't ready for cookies first thing in the morning.

You might like cookies in the morning though, so I thought I'd share the recipe.  I got it from one of my favorite cookbooks.

1 package yellow cake mix (I also use white)
1 c all-purpose flour
8 T butter, melted
1/4 c honey
2 large eggs
1 c colored sugar sprinkles

Preheat oven to 375.  Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets with shortening.

Place cake mix, flour, melted butter, honey and eggs in a large mixing bowl.  Blend with mixer on low speed for 1 minute.  Stop and scrape down the sides.  Beat on low for 1 minute more.  Cookie dough will be thick.  With lightly floured hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls.  Pour the colored sprinkles into a shallow dish and roll the balls in them.

Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.  Press down each cookie slightly.  Bake the cookies until the edges are light brown, 8-12 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Store the cookies, wrapped in foil or in an airtight container, at room temp for up to 1 week.  Or freeze them wrapped in foil and placed in a plastic freezer bag, for up to 3 months.
