Ingredients
-
1 pack of scotty's everyday cupcake + cake Mix
-
1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp nutmeg
-
1/2 tsp ginger
-
1/2 tsp clove
-
5 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/4 cup Fruit peels/dried fruits/nuts of your choice or 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs/2 jumbo eggs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° degrees
Pour the cake mix into a mixing bowl. Stir in sifted all purpose flourMake a well in the centre and add the eggs, butter, vanilla extract & orange zest. With an electric beater mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough does not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl. It will look and feel like play dough.
On a lightly floured board, divide dough into two halves. Roll each half into a log about 1" in diameter. Roll each log gently to the edge of the board and then continue rolling it onto a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Flatten the top of each cookie log until it is about 3" wide.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325° and do not turn off. Gently slide one cookie log onto the board that you rolled out the dough on. Using a serrated knife or better still an electric carving knife, slice each log across the width into 3/4" slices. Place cookies cut side down back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Remove cookies to cooling rack to cool completely. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container or freeze
