Cake Mix Cookies (Joycelyn)



This recipe will work with any flavor of cake mix.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
18 oz. pkg. cake mix (any flavor) I used lemon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients at low speed until dry ingredients are moistened and dough is thoroughly mixed. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. Cool two minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool.
If using chocolate cake mix, add 2 Tbsp. water along with egg. You can stir in chocolate chips, coated candy pieces, chopped nuts, or oatmeal. Frost the cookies, using canned frosting, or make sandwich cookies by spreading frosting between two cookies. These Cake Mix Cookies should be stored tightly covered at room temperature so they stay soft.

Cookies and Cream Pie (Joycelyn)


20 peanut butter creme filled cookies
6 large Reese's peanut butter cups chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
1 8oz. pkg whipped topping
1 cup milk
Dip 10 cookies into milk and place them on a plate to drain. Starting with the first cookie you dipped in milk, break the cookies into pieces to form a crust on the bottom of a pie dish. Sprinkle two of the chopped candy bars on top of the crust, then cover with a thin layer of whipped topping. Repeat these three layers---cookies, candy, topping. Sprinkle top layer of whipped topping with the remaining candy bar pieces. You could also drizzle some chocolate syrup over the top layer...you know, one can never have too much chocolate!
Refrigerate over night. (if you are in a hurry....place pie in the freezer for two hours to set before serving)
