Cookie swirls

We have had a lot going on in our house the last couple weeks and sometimes, instead of going over some scary things we have to face in our future, you just need to take a break and make some sweets. So this post is a light hearted post about how to make some delicious cookies! 

Cookie Swirls
2 boxes of cake mix (any flavor) I personally love yellow cake and chocolate together!
4 eggs (2 for each box)
4 teaspoons of milk (2 for each box)
2/3 cup of oil (1/3 for each mix)


Add one cake box mix into a mixing bowl, and add eggs, milk and oil.


Do the same for the second box of cake mix.


Mix well, until this yummy batter looks like this!


Do the same for the second box. Pretty easy so far, huh?


Then cover them both with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Believe me, you will want to do this. Otherwise, the batter is too delicate to work with.


This is a little girl who is waiting anxiously for some cookies! "Mommy, take a picture of me!" How could I resist?


After 30 minutes, scoop a teaspoon and a half of one batter and roll into a ball. Set aside.


Now, do the same with the second batter.


Then combine the two and roll into one big ball.


Place a couple of inches apart on a cookie sheet. I could eat these like this! But lets bake them...

 

Bake at 375 for 12 minutes and they come out looking oh so good!!! 


So, if you need something sweet in your life that is decadent and worth all the work, these cookies are for you. Here's the recipe written out. Enjoy and until next time.

In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of milk and 1/3 cup of oil. Mix well until there are no clumps. Do the same with the second box of mix.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then take a teaspoon and scoop about a teaspoon and a half of batter and roll into a ball with your hands and set aside. Do the same with batter #2. Then roll both balls into one big ball and place onto a cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 for 12 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool completely. Makes around 15 cookies.
