Cake Batter Pudding Cookies

Okay.

If there is one thing I love- it is eating cookie dough & cake batter. Unhealthy? Yes. Do I care? No.

When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I almost peed myself with excitement.

A cookie that is CALLED "Cake Batter Pudding Cookies."

I had to try it out. Gabe & Evelyn helped, of course.

What you need:

1 1/2 sticks of butter (that's 3/4 cup)
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of sugar
1 package (3.4oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 1/4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
SPRINKLES!

What you do:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a small bowl, stir together flour, salt & baking soda.

In a large bowl, cream butter & sugar together.

Add in pudding package & cake mix. Beat until well blended.

Add in eggs & vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Add flour mixture gradually until batter is mixed well.

Mix in your sprinkles. Use whatever kind(s) you want & however many you want!

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

** As I have mentioned before, my oven seems to run on the hot side- but I only needed to bake these for 7 or 8 minutes at 325 degrees! Any longer & the bottoms burned! **

& In case you wondering, they really do taste just like funfetti cake batter! ENJOY!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Son of a nutcracker. What a long week it's been. I apologize for my lack of posts (especially so soon after starting up this blog). All three of my kids have been sick. As we speak, a poor 4yr old boy is nestled up on my side suffering from a ruptured eardrum. 

So what does a girl time in this time of crisis? Bake cookies, of course. 

I found this recipe online & altered it to my liking. They are wooonderful. But you have to be careful to not over-bake them. If baked just right, they are slightly crispy on the outside & chewy n' gooey on the inside. My son, in his fragile state, has refused to eat any. So I ate his share. & Then some. ;)

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

What you need:

1 cup of butter (softened)
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar (packed)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of white chocolate chips

What you do:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a medium to large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar & brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time & mix in the vanilla.

Slowly add in flour, baking soda & salt.

Stir in chocolate chips & drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly browned.

Nom. Happy snacking!
