Cake Cookies with Peanut Butter Frosting - Rachel

WOW. These are divine.

Cake Cookies

Ingredients:

1 pkg chocolate cake mix (I used devil's food cake)

2 eggs

1/3 c Crisco or butter

1-2 T water, if necessary

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Mix all ingredients together. If mixture is dry, add 1 T of water until mixture is the same consistency as cookie dough.

3. Drop, by teaspoonful, onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 9-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on sheet, then transfer to cooling rack.

4. Eat plain - OR, better yet - frost with Peanut Butter Frosting.
