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. :)

Spread love and joy!

December is coming pretty fast, y'all. And there is this little thing I have done for my kids ever since about 1988. I give my kids a "Happy December" present. When the girls were in elementary school and they came home from school on December 1st, I usually had a little something laying out on their bed to find. A Christmas sweatshirt I made or a cute pair of Christmas socks or Christmas hair bow - something cute or fun to begin the holiday season. They are now adults, but I still get them something each December 1. I mail it. Or if I see them at Thanksgiving, I can give it to them. I still do little things - Christmas earrings, Bath & Body Works Peppermint soap, a holiday candle. Oh, and I have a son that I don't leave out of the "Happy December" gifting. He has his own apartment now, so I can give him festive items, like Santa salt and pepper shakers or a Dunkin Donuts gift card for a speciality coffee. Or one year I gave him a pack of lip balm (ye...
