This is Paula Deen's recipe. Can be made with any cake mix. Can change out the type of extract to rum, coconut, almond depending on the flavor combination you like. Most of my friends enjoy the chocolate with almond combo but my husband's favorite is the yellow cake mix with lemon extract. It's also fun to add toffee bits or chocolate chips.

LOL... it was on the back of a box of Ginger Evan's Yellow cake mix mix last summer. I have never watched Paula.....I wonder if we both shop at the discount grocery!! You are right about it being great with toffee bits and I even used dried bluberries once...yummy!

Kathy, where do you think Paula Deen got the recipe????
Why call it her recipe, she does not come up with all the recipes she has on her show (I know for a personal fact).

Hi Cindy,

I called it that because that is where I found it a few years ago. It is on the Food Network website under Paula Deans recipes. I've been making these cookies for a few years now.

Yesss, I've been making them in different varations for years too.
Sorry Kathy if I came across toooooo strong.

I do know several cooks/chef on Food Network that have taken others recipes and feature them as their own....as well as on a couple other web sites.

I have submitted a few of my personal concoctions to contests on some web pages, only to see them end up presented as "theirs".

I do not join in on food web contests anymore, as I was told, "if you submmit a recipe it becomes their property".
I do not like that.

Hi Cindy,
Yes, when you enter a contest the recipe belongs to them, even if you don't win. I agree, it doesn't seem fair.
Another variation on these cookies: I've made them with pineapple cake mix, rum extract, shaved coconut folded in with a half marischino cherry pushed down into the middle. Tastes like a pina colada. Great for summer parties. Pretty tasty.

Thanks for the tips on all the ways you've made the cookies.

Im gonna try these cookies for Easter. They sound YUMMY. I may use colored sprinkles to make them look festive. Sounds like something my 6 yr old can help me do.
