bought a bunch of cake mixes when they were on sale,, Betty Crocker,, was wondering if anyone knew how to turn a cake mix into a bronie mix? I tried adding an extra egg,, and replaceing some liquid with oil. Came on ok,, like a fluffy brownie. Any other ideas from the baking gurus ???

You can make cookies f/cake mix. Melt stick of butter or marg., add 2 eggs, chips or nuts (otptional). Bake 350 10 min. We like with nuts.

Hi, stan, I have a basic recipe that I use, then vary it by adding different ingredients. 2eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, one-half cup oil or melted butter(or margarine), 1 chocolate cake mix, 1 cup chocolate chips. Mix, bake in greased 9 by 13 pan for 20-30 minutes, till inserted toothpick comes out clean. Vary by using different types of chocolate cake mix such as german chocolate, or adding nuts, peanut butter,etc. Sometimes I also use a caramel topping by melting 30 caramels with 1/3 cup butter and 2 tbsp milk,stir till smooth, pour on top of cooked brownies, top with nuts and chocolate chips. Umm- Umm, going to the kitchen now!!

I love this cookie recipe: 1 box devil's food cake mix, 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 eggs, 2 cups chocolate chips. Bake for 6 minutes in 450 oven, they look a little undone but don't bake longer.

I bet you could fiddle with this and maybe turn it into brownies?

Another cookie recipe. 1 box cake mix any flavor 1 pound butter 2-2 1/2 cups flour

mix in flour until the right consistency. I make it stiff and use a cookie press to make Christmas cookies from it. Bake at 375 until done. These are really good!!
