Reindeer Poop Gift

You can paint and decorate a tin to duplicate the picture above. Or you can print this poem onto a solid colored tin.

I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn, and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".

I got an old shovel and started to scoop
Neat little piles of "reindeer poop."
but to throw them away seemed such a waste,
So I saved them, thinking you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite a while,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he rose to the sky~~~
"Well, they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix
• 1/4 c vegetable oil
• 2 eggs

Mix wet ingredients, then add boxed cake mix.

The mixture will be quite stiff and difficult to mix, so if possible use a cake mixer with a powerful motor - a cement mixer would work even better. If preferred, coat your hands with vegetable oil so the dough won't stick and mix the dough (literally) by hand.

Roll the dough into balls approximately 1" in diameter. Place twelve at a time on an ungreased cookie sheet and mash to 1/4" thickness using a fork.

Bake 7-9 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and cool on a rack.

Variations:

Passable Peanut Butter
Use yellow cake mix and add 1/2 cup peanut butter to the mixture.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip
Use chocolate cake mix. Add 8 oz chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Speckled cookies
Make one batch of peanut butter dough and one batch of chocolate chocolate chip. Mash the two doughs
