I love the decadent carrot cake mix from Duncan Hines and I wondered what it would be like as a cookie. I took the basic cake mix cookie recipe and tweaked it a bit. They turned out pretty good. My only complaint was that the cookies didn't keep their shape and kind of spread out when cooking. Not a problem because they are still delicious! Here's a step-by-step guide to my decadent carrot cake mix cookie experiment! Have any tips for me? Let me hear 'em!

Ingredients:

• Duncan Hines Decadent Carrot Cake mix with real carrots and raisins
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup oil

Directions:

1. Open packet of carrots and raisins and pour into 1 1/3 cup of hot tap water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Completely drain the water from the carrots and raisins.
3. Put cake mix, eggs, oil, and carrot/raisin mix into a mixing bowl. Mix with spoon not mixer.
4. Freeze mix for 2 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Roll into balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. Cookies will be soft.
8. Let cool. Drizzle with icing or leave plain.
9. Enjoy!

Notes: This is a very sticky mixture and it doesn't get very firm even after freezing for 2 hours. Perhaps leaving it to freeze overnight might make the cookies more uniform, but baking times would probably have to be adjusted.
