Lazy day cookies? Oh, heck yes!

I do frozen, homemade cookie dough to save time.  It's really a great feeling to take the frozen, already formed cookies out of the freezer and plop them on the cookie sheet.  Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow time to make more batches, but the mom kids want something sweet.  These lazy day cookies are perfect.  They're even easy enough for the kids to make. 

You need:
  • one box of your favorite cake mix (I used a yellow)
  • 2 slightly beaten eggs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup of chips or candy (I used Easter m&m's.)
Do this:
  • mix the cake mix, eggs and butter until well blended (I mixed it by hand.)
  • gently mix in the goodies
  • pour into a greased baking dish (This is what they look like going in the oven. I didn't take this picture, so I don't take credit for it.  I'm having camera issues!)


  • bake for about 20 minutes at 350
  • RESIST THE URGE TO CUT THEM UNTIL COOL!!! They'll fall apart if you don't wait. 
Note:
You can use any combo of cake mix and chips that you wish.  Personally, I think chocolate cake mix and peanut butter chips would be wonderful - but I love any kind of chocolate!  Strawberry cake mix and white chips, butterscotch chips and chocolate cake mix are also good possibilities. 

Update… The darling daughter made the chocolate/peanut butter type and they were delicious!
