Earthquake Cookies
Cake-cookies
This is a simple recipe that doesn't require much and easy to throw together. However, they are highly addictive.

1 Box of Devil's Food Cake
2 Eggs
1 Tbs of water
1/2 cup of shortening (I used the vegetable Crisco and it works wonderfully)
Powdered Sugar

There's a couple ways you can mix it - one you can mix it all together by spoon, or you can use a beater for the liquids, shortening and about half (or less) of the the devil's food cake then mix the rest by hand as I've found using a spoon is rather frustrating and doesn't get everything that well.
Don't mix powdered sugar into the cake, eggs, water, and shortening.
After it's mixed well put it in the fridge for about an hour.

You will need the oven preheated to 375F (or 190C) degrees. Also a cookie tray is needed. I've used the non-stick type.

In a bowl put some powdered sugar in it, you don't need a whole lot to begin with - but basically take a spoon and make the cookie whatever size you want. I make them about two inches flat and circular, then coat it in the powdered sugar on both sides. And place on the cookie sheet, bout an inch or two of space between each other since they will expand and rise.

It'll take about 8-10 minutes, but it seems to be thoroughly baked at 10 minutes (a couple extra minutes won't hurt it). Then put it on a rack to cool and you're done. :)
