Cookies from a Cake Mix

I saw this post about making cookies from cake mixes on Facebook  from buzzfeed.com and am glad to put it on my blog.    Because I'm living in a Belize right now and don't have as many resources available to do homemade cooking, I welcome these recipes.

Here is just one sample:

Chocolate chip cookies

INGREDIENTS
1 package yellow cake mix
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup oil
2 eggs

PREPARATION
1. Combine cake mix, chocolate chips, oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl.
2. Using an ice cream scoop or your hand, form golf ball-sized balls of cookie dough and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake at 350°F/180°C for 10-12 minutes.
4. Enjoy!

After I made the above recipe, I made it again with this change:  I added 1/2 apple sauce instead of 1/2 a cup of oil because with the oil it was a little too oily. I also made it with chocolate cake mix.  The cookies are very soft, but that's ok because I like soft cookies.
