Original Recipe
1 (18 1/4 ounce) Box devils food cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Confectioners' Sugar (for rolling)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir (by hand) cake mix, oil, and eggs- until dough forms. Dust with sugar and shape into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan after one minute and put on cooling rack.
Cooking for 17 people
My original yield was 30 cookies.

17 cookies (1box cake mix/30 cookies)= .56 of a box= 1/2 box

17 cookies (1/2 cup oil/30 cookies)= .283 cups of oil= 1/4 cups

17 cookies (2 eggs/30 cookies)= 1.13 eggs= 1 egg
Percent Yeild
I was able to bake 24 cookies, with my original yeild being 30.


(24 cookies/30 cookies) x 100= 80% yeild
