Does anyone know a quick and easy sugar cookie recipe?

I was making some cookies for my son today and it ended up taking 3 hours to make them. I know my grandmother used to make them MUCH quicker! Does anyone have a good quick recipe?Does anyone know a quick and easy sugar cookie recipe?
Buy a yellow cake mix, add 3 eggs and a half a cup of oil, a little milk if you need to soften the dough-- roll into balls and roll in sugar. Put on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until done. If you want chocolate cookies use a chocolate or devil's food cake mix. Cheap moist cookies fast!!! Kids have fun and less headache!!Does anyone know a quick and easy sugar cookie recipe?
INGREDIENTS:


鈥? 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


鈥? teaspoon baking soda


鈥? cup butter, softened


鈥?/4 cup packed light brown sugar


鈥?/4 cup white sugar


鈥? (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix


鈥? teaspoon vanilla extract


鈥? eggs





DIRECTIONS:


1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


2.Combine the flour and baking soda. Set aside.


3.Mix the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Add the eggs and mix well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture. Drop from teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. or roll out (using flour to coat surface and rolling pin). Cut into desired shape.


4.Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes.


I make these all the time. The cookies will stay soft and chewy after baking. Also, you can change the flavor of the pudding and add chips to make different cookies. You can use butterscotch pudding and 1 cup of chocolate chips for a delicious chocolate chip cookie. I like to use chocolate pudding, white chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts for a change. Also, you can substitute the chips and walnuts with 1 cup of raisins and 1 cup of oatmeal and use butterscotch pudding for a great oatmeal raisin cookie. But, I have to say my favorite is to use chocolate pudding and the new little tiny Reeses cups!
