This is an incredibly flexible recipe for desserts for crowds. I put a variety of things in it--nuts, chocolate chips, crushed toffee, whatever is on hand. I prefer to bake it in a jellyroll pan, with the temperature reduced to 350 for 15 minutes, then decreased to 250 until it is done. I use applesauce to replace the oil, which helps with the healthy quotient.
I also have been known to put icing on the top, depending on what is in the cookie itself.

The cake mix in this cookie leave it soft for days after baking! It is really easy to make oatmeal cookies and have them turn into hard crunchy frisby like disks, but not these. I also use golden raisins and cut the nut portion in half as per my particular tastes. But this is one of my staple Christmas cookies because the cake mixes go on sale and I stock up! Give it a try and you won't regret it!
