Now here is the recipe:

1 cake mix, any variety, I used lemon (I know Mary, I am sorry)
1 egg
1 stick of butter (very soft)
water
powdered sugar (optional)

Mix first 3 ingredients with a hand mixer, adding the water at the end to determine how much you need for it to be a cookie dough consistency.  I think I added less than 1/2 a cup, for a double batch.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls (or use a small ice cream scoop) onto parchment lined baking pan.  Give them a little pat, but don't press down to flatten.  Bake at 350 until just before they start to turn golden on the edges, maybe 8 minutes depending on your oven.  (Mine is hot and uneven.)  Let them cool on a bakers rack.  You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top.  I don't remember how many a batch makes.  I doubled it for Easter and we had plenty. 

Now here is the fun part.  Tonight I am bringing these same cookies to our flock group, but I am going to make cookie sandwiches with them using cream cheese icing in between the 2 cookies!  And I am bringing confetti cookies for the kids, using a confetti cake mix.  I also plan to make these again with chocolate cake mix and make cookie sandwiches with white frosting in between.  Oh, the possibilities are endless! 

UPDATE:  Hello again.   I wanted to let you know that the Funfetti cake mix is for some unknown reason a little trickier than the lemon.  They actually have a different recipe on the box.  I tried that recipe and they were a bomb, as in not good!  When I used the recipe on my blog they were much better, but still harder to do than the lemon.  There is a different consistency.   I made them OK today.  I just was careful when I added the water.  Just a little at a time until the dough is like chocolate chip cookie dough.  The lemon cookie dough is softer and a little smoother. 

Have a blessed weekend!

I hope you have a great weekend!  I look forward to reading your show & tell.  I'll be making my rounds after I bake some more cookies for tonight.
