Cake Mix Cookies - Spicy Butterscotch

I have a friend that makes Cake Mix Cookies and experiments with lots of flavor combos . . . but I had never tried them. Ran across a jar of homemade spice cake mix that needed to be used + had some butterscotch chips . . . so now I can say I've make Cake Mix Cookies. So easy and tasty, too. Barry just had one before he delivered them to Neighbor to Neighbor earlier this week. (At least I think he only ate one!)

Found a basic recipe for Cake Mix Cookies @ Taste &Tell Blog and have included it below. However you may may to check out their interesting flavor combos titled “Cake Mix Cookies – 12 Ways!”

            

 Cake Mix Cookies - Spicy Butterscotch   Makes 3 dozen smaller sized cookies

1 cake mix*—dry ingredients only (I used a homemade spice cake mix) 

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1/2 cup mix ins (I used butterscotch chips but other options could include coconut, chocolate chips, chopped candy bars, etc.)

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with a silicon liner or parchment paper
2. In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs until combined. Stir in the mix ins.
   
3. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, at least 2” apart; I flattened them slightly with a fork. Bake just until the cookies are set in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.
4. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.
   

* Cake mix sizes vary from 15.25 oz. to 18.25 oz. According to the info at Taste & Tell blog—they all seem to work just fine. You won’t need to adapt the other ingredients.
