~Cookies from cake mix recipe~?

Question

So here in Iowa we had an ice/snow storm and it was terrible! My husband walked to work (it was that bad and living in a court, there's only one way to drive out) and I'm here with 2 little girls..My neighbor was out snowblowing our sidewalk AND driveway..(she's a widow and I'm guessing around 50 or 60 years old!) I couldn't believe it! We moved in about a year ago and really haven't said much to each other..So, here's my question, without taking 2 little ones out in the ice, I wanted to do something for my neighbor..Of course I used the vanilla icing the other night..UGH..I have devil's food cake mix and chocolate frosting, so I thought I'd take over some cookies..I can only find recipes that call for the cookies made from devil's food cake W/O the pudding in it..Well, the box I have does have pudding in the mix..Does anyone know how to make cookies from a cake mix?

I don't have chocolate chips :o( I don't want to drive to the store either..It's pretty bad outside...Those would have been the ones that I wanted to make..Or sugar cookies, but of course I used the white icing the other night...

I called Pilsbury..1 cake mix..1/2 butter..1 egg..Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes..We wrapped them, made a homemade card, and dropped them off..What a terrific woman for doing that for us!

Looks like you got your answer from Pillsbury, but I thought I would share this recipe I tried. I usually don't care for cake mix cookies, but really loved this one:

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies - Using Cake Mix!

Talk about an easy recipe for kids' to participate ... but BEWARE it can be messy!

1 chocolate cake mix (w/ pudding or extra moist)
1 large egg
2 cups non-dairy whipped topping
1 cup powdered sugar
Non-stick spray

1. Preheat oven to 350° F and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Mix ingredients together until completely mixed (it will be tough to mix when all ingredients get fully blended). Dough will be STICKY.

3. Spray your hands with a non-stick cooking spray, take a heaping teaspoon of dough, place it into your hand, and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in powdered sugar and place on the cookie sheet about 1" apart.

4. Bake for 8-10 minutes. You want the bottom of the cookie to be just golden brown and the cookies, even while baked, will be soft. When the cookies cool, they will be chewy. Or you can bake it a little longer to make them more solid. It's up to you.

I have made this recipe using a lemon cake mix and then refrigerated them for a cool summertime treat! A neat alternative might be to push your thumb into each of the lemon ones before baking and then adding a tiny dallop of raspberry jam in the center.
