I recently signed the kids up for classes from our local 4-H office.  I let them each pick 2 to participate in.  One that Miss Magoo picked was a cookie contest.

While Miss Magoo helps me in the kitchen often, and she has an assortment of meals she makes on her own without help, I realized she hadn’t actually made cookies by herself before.

I had been planning to try out some cookie recipes with her, but suddenly the cookie contest was upon us, and I realized she still hadn’t made cookies on her own, plus we had no cookie recipe we were planning to make.

We started brainstorming at about 8 p.m.  

We came up with lots of ideas, but inevitably didn’t have all the ingredients we needed to make those recipes.  Finally, I decided we needed to consider cake mix cookies.  It would be very simple for a first time cookie maker, and I always keep a couple of boxes of cake mix around for emergencies.

We took a basic cake mix recipe and added some ingredients so Miss Magoo could make it her own.  This isn’t all that unique of an idea, but I wanted to share it because the cookies are A) super easy, and B) really delicious.
