Cookie Recipe with Cake Mix?

Nov 4 03:55 UTC 1997 |
The other day, I found the following recipe floating around the net. It
occurred to me that it was odd to use cake mix to make cookies. Then
again I'm not the most experienced cook, so I thought I'd ask here. Would
these cookies turn out like cake? Why or why not?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
About 4 dozen
* 1 package (18.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 2 eggs
* 12 ounces (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips
* 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or other nuts (optional)
Preheat the oven to 3500F. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil,
and eggs. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired. Drop by
rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the centers are set. Remove the
pans from the oven and let the cookies set for 2 minutes. Remove the
cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

My guess is that the non-cakishly large amount of fat would make dense little
cakes, usually known as "cookies". The cake mix is mainly flour, sugar,
flavorings.

Actually, most box recipes of cake mix call for about the same amount or more
of fat substances, so I'd have to say that yea, they'd be pretty much like
cake, but in smaller sizes.
