A day off! I got to sleep in...although if we had school we would have had a fog delay. Never-the-less I have had a relaxing morning. Most of my laundry is done and I baked cookies for the band kiddos. I also made some progress on my knitting project. I would call my time before lessons and rehearsal very productive.
I came across this recipe in college. One of my TB∑ sisters, Marcy I believe, shared it during one of our MANY baking sessions for our bake sales. It is simple and delicious! These cookies were a hit with those who wondered the halls of JCFA. (I wonder if this cookie recipe has been passed on to the current sisters and are still being made...) You can use any type of cake mix your heart desires for this recipe. You can find the recipe on the side of a Funfetti cake box. During the bake sale we made cookies using various cake mixes. Once I think someone tried to use carrot cake, but that didn't work out too well. My favorite is the Funfetti cookies, hands down. A box makes 2-3 dozen cookies, depending on how big you make them. I personally don't ice the cookies like the recipe suggests. I'm not a big icing fan (as previously stated when I posted about my birthday cake). 
This recipe is great for bake sales and family gatherings with young children. Although people of all ages have been known to enjoy these cookies. The process of making these cookies is also kid friendly in my opinion. It's also a nice alternative to the birthday treat parents send into school when it's their child's birthday. Don't get me wrong, I love cupcakes. But when it comes to a classroom of 20 to 30 6, 7, or 8 year-olds, cupcakes can get really messy with the wrappers and especially the icing. These cookies give you the taste of cake (or cupcake) in the form a cookie.
