One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Cake Mix Cookies


Sometimes it's nice to just make something with no effort whatsoever. Sometimes it's nice to only need 5 ingredients with minimal measuring and prep time. That's what cake mix cookies are all about. These are easy enough my kids can make them (with adult help for the oven of course). Just a simple recipe with a fun cake flavor that my kids totally love (okay, I definitely eat more than one if we make a batch).

Cake Mix Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 (18.25 oz.) package cake mix (we like the Pillsbury Moist Supreme line the best)*

- 1 tsp. baking powder

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or other goodies*

*Note: Our family's favorite is Pillsbury Moist Supreme Yellow Cake Mix, and we like to do half semi-sweet chocolate chips and half white chocolate chips. It's fun to experiment with different cake flavors and different mix-ins. Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, stir together cake mix and baking powder. Add eggs and oil and mix until well-blended. Stir in chocolate chips or your choice of additions. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
