Drop Cookies

Quick and easy because the base is the MASTER MIX.

3 c Master Mix
1 c brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 c water
1 tbsp vanilla
1/3 c nuts and/or
1/2 c chocolate chips

 Use your hands to mix the dough, then roll spoonfuls into small balls and flatten them slightly with a fork OR drop the dough by teaspoon or tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes.

These were even better the second day, and didn't last beyond that evening.

The dough may seem to be too dry once you've mixed it, but be patient; it takes a minute or two for everything to moisten. It will.

The original recipe is on a blue sheet of paper with the master mix recipe and a variety of recipes to use it in. Where it came from, I don't recall.

I found these cookies less sweet than I prefer, so I improved them by adding 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut and an extra 1/2 cup of brown sugar. And -- why not -- a cup of oatmeal. Surprisingly, no extra liquid was required. Here's how they looked:

 

In both cases, I baked them for the full 12 minutes, then left them on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven.
