Sounds wonderful! :D Thanks! I'm really not nervous about doing this. I know that the reason I'm going is a good one & that it will be helping a lot of women & children.

I just hope I don't get slashed tires or something worse while I'm out & about!! :D

Too funny. I'd have to say that Oatmeal Raisin is my most favorite, and I don't like chocolate in them. I actually substitute craisins for the raisins and some times put in white chocolate chips- that's a yummy version of an old favorite.

I also like lemon glazed sugar cookies- if I can find a recipe that fits what I think they should taste and look like in my head, I'd make them

Speaking of cookies, does anyone have that cookie recipe made with a cakemix? I have a white cakemix sitting around and would love to use it for something other than cake.

We tried these at Christmas, because everyone was talking about them on here - I thought they'd be good from the way everyone talked, but... - YUCK!:yuck: None of us liked them, and I had to throw them out.

I used lime and cherry jello - for green and red cookies, but maybe those were the wrong flavors to use?

Speaking of the mafia... ;) Can anyone arrange for me to be protected this afternoon? I have to testify against someone whose mean union lawyer will be there. The person I'm testifying against lives in a town known for their mafia connections!

I found the Cake Mix Cookie recipe, but it has an option for every kind of cake mix but yellow- so I'm not sure what to add to these...

Will they just sort of taste like a sugar cookie?

As an adult I don't really like them...I think grape was the only decent one we found...they seemed to be too floury for my liking...

Cleaning girls came today so Kitchen is clean - we are having Pizza - I don't want the kitchen to get messed again till the morning - tommorrow, I am making grilled skirt steak with the greek rub (Becky's recipe) garlic green beans and roasted potatoes..
 
  • #63
Nope, but since you aren't adding extra flour, they should be fine...Try this one:CAKE MIX COOKIES 1 package of cake mix (any flavor)
1 large egg
1/4 cup of oil
1/4 cup of water
1 cup of chopped nuts, raisins, oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chips, M&M'S® etc. (anything you like in cookies)Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix, egg, oil, and water. Beat until well blended. Stir in remaining ingredient (s).Drop by teaspoon about 1 inch apart onto greased cooke sheet.Bake for 15 minutes or until done. Makes about 4 dozen.

Cleaning girls???:eek: :eek: ............if only!!! I wish I had cleaning girls, but the joke around here is that I'd have to clean up so they could clean! Especially in my kitchen! I have so much dang PC products that everyone freaks!
I am by no means a slob but I have so much stuff and so little storage in my house that everything looks so dang cluttered. I'm not kidding, I have one cabinet in my kitchen for all my stones and cookware, and I have one linen area that I put everything. Otherwise I have NO other areas to store, I own so many freakin rubber made totes! ughhh!:grumpy:

LOL - I do clean up before they come - drives my DH crazy!!! We have a huge house and I can not get the whole house clean in one day - so I have them come once a week and then the rest of the time I clean levels. So the house is pretty clean all the time - except the kitchen (and MINE IS HUGE!!!) - never seems to stay clean!!

I am the "cleaning girl" around here, and I would like to add that I don't get paid enough :)

I really couldn't stand somebody coming into my home and touching my stuff, even just to clean. When I was younger my sister and I worked for a cleaning company and we saw to many bad things that other workers would do. Theft was one and just general snooping was another. Not that I have anything to hide though!!

Sounds like we have that seriously in common! I did start in my office/room last week and I cleared out 3 large (30 gallon) trash bags, full of trash or things that I finally just parted with! My hubby is so darn silly happy with me! I have a little bit more to go and then I need to do something with my kitchen!:rolleyes: Oh that is just frightening to me! I am overtaking my hubby's storage spots in the garage, with all my PC stuff and duplicates! I told him he needs to make me a new kitchen just to fit my PC items!

Do you have the old Celebrate cookbook? They are called the All Occasion cookies. There is a section devoted just for these cookies in there!
You can do a lot with white cake mix.... add cinnamon, or cinnamon plus, you can add a flavoring, just get creative! The pamplet I was talking about was from years ago, when we had the theme shows called "Cookie Shows":)

I had a brief stint with Merry Maids ( I was allergic to their cleaning products so had to quit after about 3 weeks) We neve snooped or stole. At least not the group of ladies I was with.

I guess I'd just stick all my valuables somewhere safe and if they want to look in my underwear drawer, well more power to them, and feel free to organize it! LOL

I'll give the white cake mix a try with some cut up maraschino cherries. I'll just pat them dry and cut them up and maybe add some pecans...

My girls are extremely trust worthy - I got them 5 years ago from a friend who swears by them - they never snope or take anything - they actually will find coins or earrings and put them in a spot in my kitchen every week - they are so reliable, they haven't missed a week in 5 years, I know I am lucky to have them. (in more ways then one!) Lets just say they keep the sanity in my house because I freak when its messy (yup - a little touch of OCD) so having my entire home clean for just one day helps me get thru the week!:blushing:

Your lucky!! My Auntie has her own house cleaning biz and her clients love her to bits. She's a one woman show, she even leaves nice little homemade gifts for her "houses" as she calls them about once a month.

I make these, sort of. I use 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), melted instead of the oil. I also add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and add one more egg. I usually use yellow cake mix and add chocolate chips. Then I bake them in the bar pan.
