Universal Cookie Dough Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 Cake mix of your choice
1/3 C cooking oil
2 eggs or 2/3 C peanut butter (this will depend on your cake choice)
Any stir ins you like

Mix ingredients together to form a fairly stiff dough. Use a scoop to measure out balls of dough that are the same size. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack before eating. The add ins may be very hot. These cookies bake up very soft and chewy and they stay that way even after a few days. They also don't taste like cake. They taste like cookies. This recipe will make about 20 cookies the size in the picture.

Combination Suggestions:
Butter cake mix with toffee bits, chocolate chips, or nuts
Devil's Food mix with white chips, peanut butter, or butterscotch chips
Spice mix with craisins, nuts, dried banana, or apple chips
White mix with coconut
I have used the Devil's food cake mix and created sandwich cookies with raspberry filling. I have also expanded some frosting and made chocolate frosting filled sandwich cookies using the white cake mix. This is quick, easy, and very tasty.

Why do I always read these kinds of things when I am hungry. That sounds soooo good. I want to try the white mix with coconut, but then I would put a pineapple cream cheese frosting in the middle to make pina colada cookies. :)

It's All About the Journey

When I was much younger than I am now, I thought the only way I could be fulfilled as a woman was to become a professional something or other with many degrees and a big salary to match. As the years wore on and my time in my home increased, I discovered how magnificently satisfying it is to create my career at home. I have the ability to expand my horizons unencumbered by bosses and punch cards. I get to be all of me in my own way and time. I have discovered there isn't just one thing I wanted to be when I grew up. My time in my home has given me the gift of transcending a single career track and becoming many things along the way.
Homemaking traditionally was assigned to women, but homemaking is a family affair. Women and men need to be committed to creating the kind of home they want for their families. I wanted to make a place of refuge for mine. A place they could feel peace and contentment and laugh. I wanted to eat good food and use the good china for breakfast. Each choice has been made conscientiously with love and concern for each member of my family. It has been a life long journey and I enjoy it more every day. I am not a maid or a cook. I am not a servant or a laborer. I am a homemaker and proud of it!
This blog is a gift to my children. I want them to have a resource to use as they grow and develop. From recipes to advise, life stories to tricks and tips, I hope it will be a place they come for a long time. You are also invited to join us on our journey. Enjoy the ride!
