Cake Mix Cookies


Today is another snow day. I'm happy, though. Really. I'm happy because Taylor's Outdoor School has been postponed until later in the school year. So, in a sense, I'm sacrificing my sanity (today) for Taylor. And I'm good with that. It also helps that the kids have been pretty good this week, too.

This morning I whipped up some very simple, but yummy cookies.

Cake Mix Cookies:

1 box flavored cake mix*
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
2 - 3 TBSP water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients together well. Drop on cookie sheet.** Bake for 12-13 minutes. Devour.

*This batch was made from Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix, but French Vanilla is extra yummy, too. (Coming back to report that I like French Vanilla better.)

**I always use a Silpat lining. Don't forget to use your coupon there. They never expire.

Hmmm... I've never made them like that. My recipeis a cake mix, an egg and a small carton of cool whip and then you drop them in powered sugar before baking. My dad's favorite is lemon, but I like the chocolate best. :)

MMMmmm!
I always throw in a few white chocolate chips into my chocolate cake mix cookies. You know, it's because I could use the extra calories! :)

Oh, what a great price! I've never seen them for so low, & I know just where to find a coupon. All my baking sheets are just trashed. The cord skirt looks great. I've been thinking of how to wear all those great colors & patterns they make for girls, but as a grown-up. That's a sweet example.

Ooh! A friend of mine made chocolate chip cake mix cookies for a holiday cookie party and they were SO good. My favorites from the party, in fact. Why haven't I made these yet?

Hi Lera,

I tried this recipe on the weekend. I happened to have french vanilla and used it, however, I broke up a chocolate bar and had chunks of chocolate in them. The kids loved them, not to mention me. I told them if they liked them, homemade cookies would be the norm around here. I never knew of this recipe before... so thanks for sharing. Making cookies has never been so easy.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Cloth Napkins

Image
Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
