What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I've been making these cookies for years. They are my favorite.
I'm going to try these after church today. I am always looking for a new cookie recipe. I'll let you know how they turn out. Happy Sunday!
