Cake-like Cookie

So one day I was itching to bake. Unfortunately we didn't have any sugar or flour left in the house. I was bummed out. I really really needed to bake and relieve some stress. Luckily while perusing the pantry I realized we had way too many boxes of chocolate cake mix. My parents have been stock piling on the cake mixes for our next trip back to the Philippines. Since that trip isn't happening for another year I figured that I could replace it later. I was also in the mood for cookies so I had to figure out how to use the mix to make cookies. This is what I came up with.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of cake mix
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract 
• 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Mix all of the ingredients together.
3. Form balls with the dough and place on an ungreased baking sheet. I like to use my mini ice cream scoop.
4. Bake for 8-10 min. 
5. Let cool on the sheet after taking them out for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

It's yummy with some ice cream on top.

Why not make an ice cream sandwich? Just one sandwich is enough. The cookies keep for more than a week so you could have an ice cream sandwich every night.
