SHA ZAM

 I have learned so many things blogging and from FaceBook...
...like, I had no idea you could make COOKIES
with a boxed CAKE MIX.
Sha zam.... who knew ??


 This popped up on my FB page...

just add 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil...

mix together and drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet...

350 degrees for about 8 or 9 minutes

and.....


The only cake mix I had was an ANGEL FOOD
and I had 5 boxes of BROWNIE mix....
sooo...
I used one box of the brownie mix
plus extra Vanilla
and plenty of chopped pecans. 

Not that it was all that much faster than mixing the brownies as the directions say...
I was hungry for something sweet and cookies baked faster than
a whole pan of brownies...
besides I just wanted to give it a try.


 They were delicious....
and REALLY good with a Christmas mug full of coffee.
One of my favorite hot drinks is MAXWELL HOUSE coffee.

My very favorite is the ORANGE flavored but I also love CAFE FRANCAIS.


Paired together, I had a special 3:00 in the
 afternoon delight.




 OOO...
and my year old POINSETTIA
is really out-doing herself...
just look at all these beautiful RED LEAVES.....
and her timing is PERFECT...just in time for Christmas.
XOXOXO

  6. Those look pretty tasty and easy too! I have to say that while I love to bake cookies, sometimes you just want a quick fix without getting out every ingredient you ever had (and then realizing you don't have enough cocoa or chips). This works for me!

  12. Girl! You have started something now. I will have to make some brownie cookies! I think they will be perfect portions of sweetness! My favorite coffee is Folgers and then I add the same Maxwell House powder to it. I use the sugar free vanilla. I know I can just add water like directed but I use it as a coffee flavor. Soooo goood!

  16. Well, look at you and you have snow!! We do not have snow and the skitters are now making snow so they can play. I had no clue you could make cookies from a cake mix. Your cookies look so yummy. I do think I should drop by and help you eat them.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
