This creates moist cookies using your favorite Duncan Hines cake mix (I like the butter recipe). I have tried chocolate, lemon, and banana: excellent!
- 1 box favorite Duncan Hines cake mix
- Optional chocolate chips, about 1/2 cups or chips of choice
- 1 jumbo egg
- 1 stick softened butter or margarine
- Empty Duncan Hines Cake Mix in a large bowl.
- Put in jumbo egg.
- Stick slightly softened butter or margarine.
- Mix until dough ball forms.
- Place dough by spoonful on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes, 7 for chewy, 10 for crisp and brown.
- May add chocolate chips, about 1 cup or 1 large bag, raisins, nuts, etc.

I substituted veggie oil for the egg and made no-cook fudge with the Duncan Hines Devil's food cake mix. After the dough is kneeded, I rolled it out over a layer of flour and used cookie cutters to make shapes. I cooked those for cookies and molded the leftovers with my hands to make fudge balls. Will try it with peanut butter next! Great!

I've made these cookies for over 40 years. Orange chocolate chip is my family favorite.

I just made this with the coconut cake mix, chocolate and butterscotch chips and it was a HIT! Next time I will try 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup water, the batter was very oily, but the finished product is great.

Absolutely delicious and easy! I made it with white cake mix and some chocolate chips. Also added food coloring to match the holiday. Yummy!

My mother has used this recipe most of my life. It was an easy way for us kids to help make cookies, especially at Christmas. Now I am 36 years old and I still use this recipe for making christmas cookies. Sometimes I add peppermint flavoring and red food coloring to a white cake mix and then use the dough to form candy cane shaped cookies

Simple, yet an old favorite. Can't beat chocolate chip cookies.
