Cake Mix Cookies - Easy and Really Good!

One cake mix will make about 2 dozen cookies. They are moist and soft and yummy! Would you like the recipe?

Triple Chocolate Andes Mint Cookies

1 Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Cake mix

1/2 oil

2 eggs

1 bag of Andes Mint Chips (I used only half a bag)

Mix the cake mix, the oil, and the eggs with mixer until all mixed. Then stir in the chips. Preheat the oven to 350. Put about 1 tablespoon rounded scoop of cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Just a heads up - although the directions said 8 to 10 minutes to bake, my turned out best at 7 minutes - but it could be my oven, so watch you first batch closely.

I have also used the Dark Chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips and strawberry cake mix with white chocolate chips. Cookies made from scratch are still better, but this is an easy go to when you need cookies fast!!!

Another tip - I store them with a piece of bread in the container so they stay soft.

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday. I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect. So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown. The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown. As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller. It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color. Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes. Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true. I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)

Woo Hoo!

So excited that Christmas is coming! I love the atmosphere of all the love and giving. I'm in the painting mode for a Christmas craft sale I'm a part of with my new friends. (We have moved to Georgia this past summer.) Here is just the beginning.....for some reason I am all about the Snowfriends. I've made small ones and large porch sitters. The small signs and Snowfriends will look cute on your three tiered tray or on a shelf.
