Easy Chewy Cookies

This as another easy recipe starting with a cake mix. Using a chocolate cake mix end result is very similiar to old fashioned Chocolate Crinkle cookie made years ago. Also not sure of the origin of this recipe but has been a quick to make family favorite for 20 or so years.

• Ready In: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (18 1/2ounce) package  cake mix, I use Duncan Hines brand
• 1⁄2 cup shortening
• 1  tablespoon water
• 2  large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. Combine first 4 ingredients.
2. Beat on low till smooth or by hand.
3. Shape into balls and roll in powdered sugar.
4. Place 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets.
5. Bake 10 minutes at 375.
6. Cool slightly on pans before removing.
