Lemon Currant Cookies

Lemon Currant Cookies
1 package lemon cake mix
2 large eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup currants

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line cookie sheets.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil just until combined. Fold in the currants. Roll dough into small balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for about ten minutes until golden and cracked. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring. Makes about 36 small cookies. 
Making cookies from a cake mix is an easy, quick, and cheap way to 'cheat' at making cookies. And the flavor combinations are endless, depending upon what types of cake mixes you can find and what you want to use as your stir-ins. The basic formula is one cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oil, and 1/2 cup stir-ins. The cookies are moist, and of course cake-like.
