THE FIFTH DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS

On the fifth day before Christmas,
My router locked me out!
No I n t e r n e t !

No darling stories,
No recipes,
emails or Facebook,
until 10:30 p.m. tonight!

So in honor of being restored to the cyber-universe, here's a sweet tip for Day 5.

UNIVERSAL COOKIE DOUGH

Any cake mix can become cookie dough by adding 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil. This makes cookie dough that can be frozen. Now jazz things up by adding a few extras. Try these winning combos:

Yellow cake mix w/ toffee bits, chocolate chips, nuts
Devil’s food mix w/ white chips, peanut butter or butterscotch chips
Spice mix w/ Cranraisins, nuts, crushed, dried banana or apple chips
White mix w’ coconut

Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes depending on what you choose to mix. Enjoy!
