It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

The secret for the easiest cookies ever? Cake mix. Fantastic way to whip up a bunch of cookie dough quickly and cut out some fun shapes.

1 box (15-18 ounce size) yellow cake mix
1/4 cup oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the cake mix, oil, water, and egg in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and the mixture forms a dough. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut as desired with cookie cutters, re-rolling the dough as needed.
Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 6 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove from the baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack. Frost or decorate as desired. Store the cookies in an airtight container.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Easy way to make cookies when you don't have a lot of ingredients on hand. Probably could use any flavor cake mix, I only tried with yellow.
