Pre-Christmas baking can be fun....but during the season...those unexpected guests or parties to attend can sometimes be stressful. I like to keep the actual season simple so that I can enjoy it. I'm all about shortcuts to yummy results. This recipe is an oldie but goodie in an old cookbook I bought once at a second hand store. I had forgotten about it but more recently I saw it again in a new magazine called 'Best Loved Cookies and Bars - Taste of Home'. @2008 Reiman Media Group Inc. These are very, very, very rich....I kid you not...so cut into tiny 1 to 1 1/2 inch squares. Last week we baked them and served them for dessert with a drop of cranberry/cherry pie filling on each square...beautiful for Christmas.
Ingredients- 1 package yellow cake mix
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 large (or two small) egg
