Rolo Cake Mix Cookies

My other chocolate cake mix cookies were exactly my favorite,
however,
my friend Hollie told me that she has had those cookies,
but with the Rolo candy inside.
That thought was VERY interesting
So I decided I had to try it.
Besides, the cake mixes were on sale at Walmart for $.78.
BONUS!
All I have to say is,
these did not disappoint.

ROLO CAKE MIX COOKIES

1 pkg chocolate cake mix

3 eggs

1 pkg rolo candies

Preheat oven to 350*

Using a hand mixer, combine cake mix and egg in a mixing bowl.

Unwrap the Rolo candies. (Kim)

The cake/cookie dough will be sticky.

To avoid too much sticky-ness, I dropped the dough into sugar.

Then, I formed the dough into a flat circle.

Place the rolo in the center, and then covering the rolo with the cookie dough.

Make sure you don't have TOO much cookie dough.

You just want enough to cover the rolo.

Then, roll the ball in the sugar for a light coating.

Place on a cookie sheet.

I usually get about 20 cookies to a sheet.

That's the size they should be.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove to cookie rack for cooling.

Just to warn you,

there will be some cookies that have some caramel oozing.

For those of you that are worried about that,

just eat them right now.

There, no worries!

P.S. I just got this cool rounded corners action for photoshop.

You will be seeing a lot more rounded corners from me!

I LOVE the look!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (take 2)

You might be thinking...didn't she already do this one?
The answer is yes, yes I did.
I knew that there was more than one way to make these cookies.
And to be honest with you, I don't know which one I like more.
I ask you to try them both...if you want, and let me know which one you like better.
Maybe you could have a cook-off with a neighbor or sister.
If you do, I would suggest you take this recipe, because it is BEYOND easy!
The post for the other recipe can be found here.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 spice cake mix
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 pkg chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375*

(when I was taking the pictures, my husband came and joined the picture...I warned him I would keep it!)

Using a hand mixer, combine cake mix and pumpkin.
Stir in chocolate chips.
(if you wanted to use the mini ones, that would be cute!)

Place on cookie sheet.
Once again, I used my small pampered chef scoop.

Bake for 14 minutes.

Remove to cookie rack to cool.

Eat!

Yes, these really are THAT simple.

And they taste really, REALLY good!

Have a good weekend!

Cake Mix cookies

A friend of mine at work was telling me about these cookies that her mom makes.
Her mom is a professional cake decorator and she deals with cakes all the time.
She makes cookies out a cake mix.
Any cake mix.
All you have to have is a cake mix and 3 eggs.
And some sugar.
She also said that they were good.
So, I thought I'd try it out!
And she was right.
I tried yellow and chocolate.
I did prefer the yellow ones more...
but they were so easy, you could easily do BOTH!

CAKE MIX COOKIES

1 box cake mix
3 eggs
sugar
*cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350*

Using a hand mixer, mix cake and eggs.
Using a scoop (as always!) form cake mix into a ball.
The cake mix will be sticky, but it's ok.

For the yellow cake, I mixed 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon.
Roll the cake mix balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place cake mix dough on a cookies sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes.

When they come out of the oven, they are so light and fluffy!

Unfortunately, they do flatten, but the flavor is still there!

These kinda had a snickerdoodle flavor.

And they were so soft!

So...I thought i'd give it another shot with the chocolate cake mix.

I did it the same way, with the cake mix and 3 eggs.

I formed them into balls with my scoop again.

I rolled them in just plain sugar.

Placed them on a cookie sheet

and baked them for 10 minutes.

I don't know if it was because these were chocolate, but it seemed

like they were cooked too long. They were still good, just not as soft

and moist as the yellow cake mix cookies.

I would probably cook them for 8-9 minutes instead.

If you are in a need for a quick cookie,

these are definately your *go to* cookie for quick.
