Easiest cookies I ever made - and they're really good
Fudge Cookies
1 box devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
stir all together - batter will be stiff
mix in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Roll into small balls (an inch or less), place on ungreased cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes.
This makes about 5 dozen cookies.

I am this way too, I went to the 99cent store and got inexpensive plastic containers for the cookies. You can use food bags too (the large kind with twist ties are perfect for cookies) I have a few homemade cookie recipies, I always make soft classic sugar cookies but the ones people rave about are my carrot cookies...
