Ok...so these are far from homemade. But trust me when I say they are fantastic. Everytime I've taken them somewhere I'm asked for the recipe, which I embarrassingly provide. :)

Yields about 2 dozen.

1 (9 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix (or your favorite flavor)

2/3 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 egg

     (following ingrediants are optional)

* 1 tsp almond extract

*1/2 cup chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms (your preference)

* For a healthier cookie, substitute raisins in place of the chips.

I personally love the, "healthier" part. As if there is anything healthy about a stick of butter and cake mix!

Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, oatmeal, butter and egg. Stir in the chips (if using). Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool.
