Terry, don't we have some walnut halves around here? Has anyone seen a 
carrot cake mix? That would be good with raisens in it I'll bet.

I bought some pecan sandies from my chapters bake sale.  They are soft with
some sugary topping and a pecan in the middle.  I bet they are made with a
cake mix, since they are soft!

I like the spice cake mix and I add a little cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
They are very good with hot tea and coffee.

I've also used a chocolate cake mix and added a little peppermint extract
for a chocolate mint cookie; it was very good.  It would be pretty to add
some crushed candy cane for Christmas.

You can get really creative with the cake mix cookies and it is still easy.

We have cake mix cookies  every Wednesday night for dessert  with our meal
that is served at church. There is always chocolate chip. Other variations
we have are lemon with white chips, orange with white chips, chocolate with
peanut butter chips. I have also replaced the oil with peanut butter & used
chocolate chips.

For a festive looking cookie platter, you could make some with red velvet
mix & white chips & using a white cake mix, add some green food coloring &
white chips.

[10 Minute Miracle Cookies]  Graphic is of some cookies they made.  Several
of the cookies are already frosted.  There is a knife  with a white glaze on
it frosting a cookie.  Several other cookies are not frosted yet.

What's the miracle behind these 10 Minute Miracle Cookies? The miracle is
that they're made with cake mix and just two other basic ingredients.
Chances are you already have all three of these ingredients sitting in your
kitchen pantry. So what are you waiting for? These miracle cookies are a
perfect fast-fix recipe for a party, a bake sale, or any social gathering.
You can even customize the cookies and the glaze to your own personal
preferences. If you've never tried cake mix recipes for cookies before, give
this version a shot. Using cake mix as your main baking ingredient can be
truly life-changing. You'll never want to make cookies from scratch again!
This recipe for 10 Minute Miracle Cookies is a quick and easy way to get a
sweet treat prepared for friends and family.

Makes: 24
Ingredients
1 package cake mix, any flavor
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare two cookie sheets lined with
parchment.

Mix dry cake mix with eggs and oil using an electric mixer or wooden spoon.

Scoop out a tablespoonful using a small ice cream scoop and roll between
your palms into 1-inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and
press with a flat-bottom glass which has been dipped into sugar to a
thickness of ¼-inch.

Bake 8- 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing to a cooling rack.

Optional Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cream or milk
a drop or two of vanilla
a pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Combine all ingredients and stir until smooth, adding more cream by
teaspoonful if necessary to achieve a glaze consistency.

Spread on cookies and allow to set before serving.

Notes

We used a spice cake mix and added a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze. You may
use any flavor cake mix you like and adjust the glaze flavor to match.
