(from saymyname’s recipe box)

24 cookies

Categories: Cookies, Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package spice cake mix
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups raisins
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°; spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.

  2. In a big mixing bowl, place half of the cake mix along with the brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and raisins; blend with an electric mixer set on medium-high speed 1-2 minutes, until blended and smooth.

  3. Stir in the remaining cake mix and oats with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are well blended (dough will be very stiff).

  4. Drop dough by level ¼-cupfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.

  5. Bake 13-17 minutes or until set at edges and just barely set at center when lightly touched; cool 1 minute on sheets.

  6. Transfer to wire racks with metal spatula and cool completely.
