Cake Mix Cookies/Homemade Oreos

What do you do when a ward social activity is coming up and you don't have much time or energy to whip up a fancy dessert (thank you, Finals Week)? Here is a yummy and quick idea!
Take a box of cake mix (my personal favorite is anything chocolate), 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (I am usually a huge fan of olive oil, but in this case it leaves too strong of a flavor) and mix together to form a dough. Roll into regular cookie size balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 4-10 minutes at 350 and there you have it! The trick is to not overbake or they harden really quickly. Just give them time to cool and they'll be done.
Bonus: HOMEMADE OREOS! This is the recipe I reach for when I have leftover frosting. Just spread a spoonful of frosting between two cookies for a fancy (but super easy) treat!
