Hints from Heloise

The Spokesman-Review

Dear Heloise: I had a copy of your cookie-mix recipe made from a cake mix hanging on my refrigerator. My husband surprised me with my new dream refrigerator the other day, but when they brought it in and set it up, my recipe got thrown away.

Could you please print it again? Thank you very much. – Sandie in Wyoming

Here is the Heloise quick cookie recipe for you to hang on your new refrigerator. It’s an easy recipe to make, so always keep cake mix on hand.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil ONLY with a box of your favorite cake mix (nothing else). If you want to, add a handful of other ingredients like nuts, raisins and chocolate chips.

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, and let cool before serving. Heloise
