In her words:
Girl - those are the easiest cookies in the world to make. Take a cake mix - any kind. The yellow ones with the chocolate chips were a yellow cake mix with half a bag of mini chocolate chips added. The sprinkle ones were "funfetti" cake mix cookies. You take the cake mix, add in 1/3 c. oil and 2 eggs. Form small balls (the size of a walnut or a little bigger), put them on an ungreased pan and flatten them just a bit. Throw them in a preheated oven (375) for 6 to 8 minutes. Done. Lemon cake mixes make good ones too.
Since then, I have tried these with a variety of cake mix flavors and have been impressed every time. My son's stuffed crayon (named John) turns 4 today (was just informed that) so I might make these in milk chocolate later. (Alas, I unleashed a monster on Sunday when the same son's monkey [also named John] and bear had a birthday. I tried to say that in celebrating their birthdays with brownies and ice cream, we were in essence celebrating the birthdays of All Stuffed Animals Everywhere, but that obviously didn't work when I was told a few minutes ago, "Mom, it's John the Crayon's birthday today. We have to make him something!") If I do end up making them, I'll try to remember to post a picture.
Highly recommended: Carrot cake and lemon cake flavors, as well as the yellow cake with mini chocolate chips that my friend made.

I think that's hilarious about the birthdays. My kids haven't done that yet :) It's so good of you to celebrate all those birthdays. And these cookies are yummy and easy, as I've made them (thanks to you a while back). I used Butter Cake mix with chopped up twix, milky ways, and skor bars. YUM!
