Cake cookies

These are not your traditional cake cookies. Joe had to trim a little off the top of each cake he made. As you can imagine, this left me with quite a bit of cake. As fun as it is to just eat, I wanted to try something new. This will work with any leftover cake, just remove the frosting. I call it...

Cakee Cookies

3 1/2 cups cake crumbs (just beat with a hand mixture)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup cocoa
6 Tb cold water
12 oz. baking chips ( I used butterscotch and chocolate)

Preheat oven to 350. Combine everything. Drop cookie size glops onto cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. ( I did 11, but my oven cooks hot.) MMmmmm.
