Cake Crumb Cookies
"A great way to use up leftover cake from leveling cake layers or cake that is starting to dry up. I have successfully made this using day-old muffins. Just add more sugar depending on how sweet your cake/muffin crumbs are to start. These cookies are soft, spicy and open to variation. Add more milk if your dough seems dry"
