Every year I bake cookies to give out as presents. I start my baking after Thanksgiving and freeze them. A few days before Xmas, I let them thaw out and put them in tins or plastic gift bags.
Since I have little time, I sort of cheat with the basic recipe:
A box of yellow cake mix
2 eggs
and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
a dash of vanilla extract
you choice of additives:
almond extract
chocolate chips
butterscotch chips
nuts
Drop them by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F until slightly golden. ( I bake mine for 11 minutes because I like them soft not crunchy)
For butter flavor, I used the butter cake mix.
And last year, I made chocolate cookies from chocolate cake mix and lemon cookies from lemon cake mix.
I put sprinkles on them so they look festive.
And they are delicious.
