Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies
My mom passed this along to me quite some time ago, and I had forgotten about it until now. It was a big hit and will remain in our "keeper" pile for whenever we need something super easy and fun.
All you need:
1 yellow or chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
Beat first three ingredients together until smooth and add chocolate chips. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 350 for 8-10 minutes and enjoy. (I will say, I think a little non-stick cooking spray couldn't hurt. I had a little trouble getting them off the trays)

Russian Teacakes--Mega Batch
Prepare a bowl of confectioner's sugar to roll cookies in when baked, and waxed paper to cool them on.
4 Cups Butter or Margarine (Softened not melted)
2 Cups Confectioner's Sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
Cream together.
In another bowl mix together:
9 Cups all Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
3 Cups Finely Chopped Nuts
Work in the flour/salt/nuts. Mixture may be hard to mix...if you don't have a heavy duty mixer you should do this by hand.
Shape into balls. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will not look brown so watch your time carefully. As soon as you can handle the hot cookies, roll in a bowl of confectioner's sugar. Cookies will be very fragile so be careful. Set the rolled cookies on waxed paper to cool. When cool roll again in confectioner's sugar. Unbaked dough can be frozen in zip loc bags and thawed in refrigerator. Thaw and then continue to roll balls in confectioner's sugar and bake as above.

Granny's Refrigerator Crisps--Mega Batch
4 Cups Crisco
2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Brown Sugar
4 Eggs
Cream together sugars and shortening. Add eggs and beat well.
In a separate bowl whisk together:
9 Cups Flour
2 teaspoons Soda
2 teaspoons Salt
8 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Nutmeg (freshly ground is great)
1 teaspoon Cloves
Stir into creamed mixture a little at a time.
Add:
2 Cups nuts, finely chopped (pecans)
Shape into 2 and 1/2 inch diameter rolls on wax paper. Freeze or refrigerate after wrapping logs in heavy duty freezer foil. Slice roll as thick or thin as you like...try both ways, one is crisper, the other chewier. Place 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 5 to 7 minutes. Reminds me of being home for the holidays...My mom has made these since I was a child.

Chocolate Chip Cookies, Mega Batch
Mix together and set aside:
9 Cups All purpose Flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
In another bowl mix together:
4 Cups Crisco or Butter (softened, not melted)
3 Cups Sugar
3 Cups Brown Sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
8 Eggs
Blend til smooth, then add flour mixture slowly...a cup or two at a time. It's really nice to have a good mixer for this.
Add:
48 ounces Chocolate Chips (8 Cups)
Stir together. I usually reserve about a half cup of chocolate chips to add after I've used most of the dough up as the last bit may not have as many chips as the first. Spoon out onto UNgreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes.
TO FREEZE dough spoon out into a quart size ziploc freezer bag. Make sure dough gets into both corners well. Fill the bag carefully avoiding air pockets. Don't put a lot of dough into each bag...you want it to be about an inch thick. Seal the bag, leaving no air at the top. Bags will stack in the freezer and you will have a small batch of cookies ready anytime. You can score lightly with a dull object (I use my knuckle)so that cookies will break off in a neat row and you can bake two or three cookies or the whole bag. It makes getting them out easier, too. Hope you enjoy this trick as much as I have. Nice to have a quick snack or dessert when friends come by. Nothing smells as nice as cookies baking. Also another tip...these frozen cookies are great to give to a new mother. She can bake them when she wants to with very little trouble. I know you can now buy cookie dough, but this just tastes so much better.

Family Recipe (No bake cookies)
½ cup milk
1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
1/3 Cup Cocoa
Prepare either wax paper or buttered platter to put the cookies on. I like to use wax paper myself but could use parchment paper. Mix together and bring to boil....boil one minute. I might let this boil 3 minutes, especially if I have doubled or tripled the recipe.
Remove from heat and Add:
3 Tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
Stir quickly and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Should harden in an hour. If it hardens too quickly in the pan you can add up to half cup milk and stir together over low heat and try to spoon out again. Add the milk slowly and add just enough to liquefy the mixture. Careful not to burn. Drop as above.
