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.

I've had some made with lemon cake mix and they were pretty good, too...

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.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
