Cakies

So, I don't know about you, but sometimes, I need sugar. And sometimes, people come over who need sugar, too. Not to mention the "Can you bring treats?" question that seems to haunt me when I literally have no time. Not to worry, cakies to the rescue!

What's a cakie? It's a cookie made out of cake batter. Let's take a look, shall we?

1 box of cake mix (I prefer the rainbow chip, or "Funfetti" because it looks so cool)
1 egg
1 cup of oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a cookie sheet.
Mix all the ingredients together. Roll into balls and place on the cookie sheet. (I roll them into little balls so it makes more cookies, which makes me feel slightly less guilty when I eat a ton of them, plus they go further.)
Bake for 8-10 minutes; 8 minutes for gooier cookies, 10 for crispier (depending on your preference). Let them sit on the cookie tray once they are out of the oven for a minute, then move them to a cooling rack.

Not only are these super easy and relatively quick, but they are super cheap. I got my last box of cake mix for 88 cents! If you are feeling extra snazzy, grab some ice cream and make mini ice cream sandwiches out of your cakies. Double impressive!

So, never fear, cakies are here!

Thanks for the recipe. I've heard of these before but not ever sat down to figure it out.
