ingredients

• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package spice cake mix
• 1⁄3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1⁄4 cups raisins
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°; spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
2. In a big mixing bowl, place half of the cake mix along with the brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and raisins; blend with an electric mixer set on medium-high speed 1-2 minutes, until blended and smooth.
3. Stir in the remaining cake mix and oats with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are well blended (dough will be very stiff).
4. Drop dough by level ¼-cupfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
5. Bake 13-17 minutes or until set at edges and just barely set at center when lightly touched; cool 1 minute on sheets.
6. Transfer to wire racks with metal spatula and cool completely.
