My Christmas Gift to YOU!

I just returned from a short trip to North Carolina.  While there I experienced a GREAT storyteller, who gave me a recipe for Christmas cookies...It's so simple and fast, you won't believe it...and they are delicious too.
If you like fruit cake, you'll love these cookies.
1 box of spice cake mix
1/3 cup canola oil
2 eggs
Mix these ingredients on lowest mixer speed until blended.
Add one container of deluxe fruit mix.  Blend.  Drop by dessert spoonful onto cookie sheet
Bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes.   Enjoy!

Chocolate Chips cookies
1 box yellow cake mix
1/3 cup canola oil
2 eggs
Blend on lowest mixer speed until mixed.
Add 1 12 oz pkg Ghirardelli Bitter Chocolate Chips
Drop by dessert spoonful onto cookie sheet
Bake 350 degrees for 11 minutes

Use varying kinds of cake mix, use the canola oil and eggs, then invent other additions, such as,
German Chocolate Cake Mix; form into balls and roll in coconut

Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, form balls and roll in chopped pecans, or walnuts.

Use Ginger Bread Mix to make ginger snaps.

In a relatively short time, you can have four dozen cookies that are delicious.  It's a great WINNER!
Merry Christmas, Happy  Hannukah, Have a GREAT NEW YEAR!
