    Is there a rule of thumb for doing this? Or is each cake mix different?

    I use one box of cake mix, a stick of butter, melted, 1/2 c oatmeal and 2 eggs. I have used all kinds of cake mix brands from the store brand to Duncan Hines...all with good results.

    I like to add in nuts, choc chips or other chips and/or chopped dried fruits...like raisins, dried apricots (esp good with lemon cake), craisins etc....just add about 1/2 c of whatever...as long as there is enough batter to hold it together.

    This is the recipe I make using the Duncan Hines cake mixes. Instead of using lemon cake mix, we also enjoy using strawberry and orange. (Have especially wanted to make raspberry cookies but DH no longer makes the raspberry cake mix.)

    3-2-1 Lemon Cookies

    3 eggs
    2 18 1/4-oz. packages, lemon cake mix
    8-oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed
    1 cup powdered confectioner’s sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, cake mixes and whipped topping; mix well. Chill dough for at least 3 hours. Drop by tablespoonfuls into powdered sugar; coat thoroughly and roll into balls. Place balls on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 11 minutes. Makes 8 dozen.
