So I was feeling very sad and sorry for myself because my dear friends moved far away, and I miss them.
So I made cookies. Chocolate chocolate chip with pecans in. They are awesome!
(Scratch bakers and other purist-type persons avert your eyes---I made them with cake mix).
I'm still sad, but now I have cookies.

How do you make cookies from cake mix?

No judging, this may actually make me get off the couch if it's easy enough.

It's easy peasy.
One box of cake mix (16-20 ounces or so), 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil. Put whatever additional goodies you want into it, mix it up, make whatever size lumps you want on the cookie sheet, and bake at 350 until they're done, about 10-12 minutes for small cookies, longer for big ones. The timing is very forgiving, so if you leave them in a few minutes too long, they don't seem to get ruined. If you like more cake-like cookies, use 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 water.

I want my cake cookies with apple bits and apple sauce, cinnamon and nutmeg and cream cheese frosting maybe apple pie spice. Wait I changed my mind I want lemon juice in the cookies and lemon frosting with sprinkles of lemon koolaid on top. I will need a glass of lemon aide to wash it down or lemon koolaid. I shouldn't eat sweets so all that lemon will make it not sweet.

I happen to have a box of lemon cake mix, a can of lemon frosting, some lemon KoolAid ... but, if I told you where it was I'd have to eliminate you!

I'm a firm believer in comfort food. My Mom, when we kids were growing up, was AWESOME at baking up something good when life wasn't going smoothly. Munch away!

My cookie choice are animal crackers both vanilla and chocolate. The calories are far less. I am a cookie monster.

hot fresh cookies right out of the oven - very tasty! melts away in your mouth - soothing only made enough for one - don't have to feel bad for eating all of them can make more if needed - better than eating a full bag in one shot made to your liking curl up with book or watch a chick flick, while snacking it's lunch time!

On the news they were showing those giant rice krispy bars they sell at the state fair. DS wanted me to make some, so I just got home from Wally World with a big jar of marshmallow cream. I supposed I'll make them up tonight...

You don't melt REAL marshmallow for your Rice Krispie Treats? Blasphemy!
I still miss my mom's Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookies made from scratch. Though my favorites were her Christmas sugar cookies.
I bake cakes or muffins more than I do cookies - and usually the Pillsbury Dough Boy helps me with the cookies when I get the urge. .

Nah. I've made them with "real" marshmallows, & they've ended up as hard as a rock. With the marshmallow cream, I've never had a bad batch.
Oh, by the way, they're ready!

"when things are bad and getting worse keep a cookie in your purse" You're assuming I would wait until things are bad to eat the cookie.
