Cake Mix Cookies

I used a box of yellow cake mix and apple sauce
to make soft and chewy toasted almond cookies.
I've heard of people using canned pumpkin to make
cookies using a box cake mix so why not apple sauce?
Also added in some chopped M&M candies and raisins,
this is a quick cookie to make and tastes good.

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup toasted almonds, chopped
1 cup M&M candies, chopped
1 cup dried raisins
1 cup prepared apple sauce.

Directions:
Toast almond either in the oven or in a pan.
Place in a food processor and pulse to chop,
remove chopped almonds to a mixing bowl.
Place M&M candies in food processor and chop,
removed chopped M&M candies to the mixing bowl.
Add thr raisins to the mixing bowl along with
the box cake mix and combine well.
(I used a Kitchen-Aide stand mixer to do this)
Add in 1 cup prepared applesauce being careful
not to put to much it because the batter
will be too runny to roll into cookies.
Place all the batter in mixing bowl in
refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Using wet hands roll out batter into 1" balls
placing them 1" apart on a parchment paper
lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Time they need to bake depends on the size.
Remove to cool, store in air tight container.
