Christmas keeps getting closer each day and that means that it's time for me to ramp up my holiday baking. When I was a kid, my mom would spend December making goodie bags for neighbors and friends. There was always a tiny loaf of homemade sourdough bread and several different kinds of cookies along with her signature chocolate chip cookies. Now that I have more time on my hands, I'm going to carry on the tradition.
In college one of my housemates made lemon cookies using four ingredients: lemon cake mix, Cool Whip, egg, and powdered sugar. Tonight I modified her recipe using a devil's food cake mix and it made the most super chocolaty cookies in the world. If you are looking for a cheap and quick cookie recipe, I highly recommend this one. Warning: It's a messy process, but totally worth it.
Cake-N-Cool Whip Cookies
1 cake mix - lemon, chocolate, devil's food, or whatever you want to experiment with
2 c. Cool Whip
1 egg
Powdered sugar
Mix ingredients together using a mixer. The dough will be thick and sticky. Use a cookie scoop to make a ball. Roll the ball in powdered sugar and coat evenly. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (What? You've never baked with parchment paper? Once you try it, you'll never go back. It's a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it in my opinion.) Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes.
Give this quick recipe a try, you'll love it!
P.S. It's Monday...have you shined your sink?
