Is it cake? Is it a cookie? Who can tell?!

My sweet friend Birdie, who enjoys many Scenes From the Crooked Maple, sent this recipe to me awhile back, and it has been replicated many times since. It is fantastic, though to me, it’s hard to mess up a cookie; even better, you can easily go from dry ingredients to cookies to completely washed dishes in an hour or less. The recipe is so easy that it would probably be a good one for kids to help with.

Without further ado, I present to you…..Birdie’s Cake Cookies.

They look good, don’t they? They are.

Here’s what you need:

1 package of cake mix (Our current favorite is basic yellow cake, but I made some pretty fantastic red velvet ones a few weeks ago. You can try anything you want.)

1/3 cup of oil

2 eggs

Here’s what you do:

Mix the ingredients. (It will be very stiff.) Spoon onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes.

Here’s what you can also do:

Add chocolate chips, butterscotch, peanut butter chips, coconut, marshmallows, cranberries, etc.

And here’s what you most certainly will do:

Enjoy. With milk, of course.
