CHERRY CAKE MIX COOKIES

1 package White Cake Mix or Cherry Chip
1/3 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
1 cup candied cherries or marachino cherries
1/2-1 c chopped nuts



Heat oven to 375 F. In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, extract and eggs; stir with spoon just until thoroughly moistened. Stir in cherries. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 F. for 6-8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Note: For a new flavor try substituting 1 tsp. rum extract for the almond extract.

FROZEN FRUIT BARS

2 c. summer fruit (pineapple, oranges, and strawberries)
1 tsp. sugar (optional) (I use sugar substitute)
1 tsp. lemon juice



Puree fruit in blender, adding a teaspoon or two of water if necessary. Add sugar (if desired), a lemon juice and blend. Pour into bar molds or small cups and insert sticks. ...Freeze... until solid. For most fruit it'll be less than 50 calories a serving. Makes 4 (4 ounce) bars. This works great with the frozen treat makers at Prepared Pantry .
