Valentine Goodies: Cake mix cookies.

Yay!! Today is the first day of the valentine goodies series!! Our first tutorial is on Cake Mix cookies. I have been making these for about 10 years. they are fast, easy, and can be made a lot of different ways. Today's are chocolate chip red velvet !! Yummy!!

Ingredients:

1 box cake mix (of your choice)

1/2 c. vegetable oil

2 large whole eggs

choc chips, nuts, coconut, white choc chips. Whatever you want to put in!

To the right are what you will need to make them.

What to do: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

1.Crack eggs in to measuring cup. Just in case the shell breaks you can easily swoop it out with a larger part of the shell. Now you can put first 3 ingredients in to the bowl and mix.

Now you can add Choc chips, and any other goodies.

2. Roll cookie dough in to 1.5in balls. Make sure to give them plenty of room to grow, because they will. You can just drop spoon fulls but the come out so perfectly round when you roll them that people will think you bought them!!

3. Bake for 8-10 Min's. Let cookies cool on sheet for 5Min's, then transfer to cooling rack. The cookies will deflate a little but it makes them crispy.

All done. Beautiful cake mix cookies.

They are great with a glass of milk. Don't wait around to eat them though..... They disappear fast.

The next Valentine goodie tutorial will be on a cute way to package cookies for your sweet heart. Romantically yours..

Pineapple upside down cupcakes!!!

I love little cakes! They are super cute, easy to handle, and most of all fun to eat! My family loves pineapple upside down cake so i thought why not make them in to cup cakes! This is how i did it!

I always use Duncan Hines cake mixes. You will need everything you need for a regular pud cake. The actual directions are on the side of a pineapple supreme box.
-Mix (eggs, oil, water also per mix directions)
-Brown sugar and melted butter mixture
-1 can crushed pineapple
-12 maraschino Cherry's (sliced in half )
1. Make cake mix per directions on box . Melt butter and mix with brown sugar until all lumps are gone. open can of pineapple drain. I also put some of the juice in to the brown sugar mixture to make it go a little further.

2. Spoon a small amount of the brown sugar mix in to each muffin tin. Place half a cherry in the center.

3. Spoon small amount of crushed pineapple in to each tin. (pan on right) Last but not least spoon the batter in to each tin almost filling to top.(pan on left) bake per box directions usually 350 for 20-25 Min's

4.Now the tricky part! after cupcakes come out let cupcakes cool on wire rack about 7-10 Min's. Take a butter knife and run around inside edge of each tin. Take a cookie sheet put on top of cupcake tins and flip so pud cakes will be right side up on cookie sheet. TA-DA!!!! They are SO cute!

5. Enjoy! Demonstrated here by my husband Josh ! I hope you will try it out!
