Cheaters Spice Cookies

Makes me remember:  Afternoon tea (Chai tea, of course!), cool, dry october days, North Carolina
Tastes: Very much like a gingerbread cookie, super chewy
Jazz it up!: Like gingerbread cookies, this would go well with a lemony glaze, but cream cheese icing piped on top of each cookie is wonderful too

To market, to market:
1 box spice cake mix (we ALWAYS have good results with Duncan Hines)
2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg whites (I use just whites in my cookies and they are perfect)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients very well using an electric mixer.  Dough should be thick and very pliable but not sticky.  I used a cookie press to achieve the cookies pictured above, but they turn out just as well rolled into small balls and slightly flattened onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for about 7 minutes, until edges are just beginning to brown.  Cool completely, then store tightly covered for up to a week.  Using a cookie press, this makes 60-70 cookies.
