Cookies From a Box of Cake Mix
Linda explores food facts, folklore, and fabulous recipes one ingredient at a time.
We Need Cookies, STAT!
Is there anything more comforting than a glass of milk and a warm cookie? But, baking a batch of cookies is often easier said than done. I don't always have the time to haul out the heavy-duty mixer, measure all of the wet and dry ingredients, break eggs, beat till fluffy, and on and on.
That's when these recipes come in handy.
