If you have not had time to bake this season, I have some easy cookie recipes today.

Cake Mix Cookies

1 pkg. cake mix (chocolate, cherry, lemon) of your choice

2 eggs

1/2 c. shortening

1 Tbsp. water

1/2 c. nuts

Mix all together. Shape in 1inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. You may want to chill dough before rolling. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees.

Pretzel Cookies

2 lbs. white chocolate bark (can be melted in microwave or double boiler)

8 to 10 oz. long stick pretzels, broken into 3

2 c. Rice Krispies and 2 c. Captain Crunch (or 4 c. Rice Krispies)

1 c. Spanish peanuts (or any nuts)

Mix everything together. Spoon out on wax paper to form candy. Candy will harden as it dries.

Fudge Cookies

1 can Eagle Brand milk

2 tsp. butter

6 oz. chocolate chips

1 c. flour

1 c. nuts

1 tsp. vanilla

Melt chocolate chips and butter on low heat. Stir and add Eagle Brand milk, flour, nuts and vanilla. Cool and spoon by teaspoon on greased pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
