Sinful Devil's Food Cookies

This recipe is almost exactly like my Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies,

except instead of using Red Velvet cake mix, I used Devil's Food cake mix

and came up with another delicious and super simple cookie.

These cookies are so simple to make,

you just have to have a little patience for the dough to chill,

but after that you'll have some yummy cookies to devour.

Let me show ya how simple they really are!

In a large bowl...

cream the cream cheese,

add the butter and cream that too,

then add the egg and mix well,

add the vanilla and mix again,

and FINALLY add the cake mix

and combine until fully incorporated.

Portion out mix and roll into balls of dough.

Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet,

leaving enough room for each cookie to expand.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack.

Once cooled, dust (or really COVER) with more powdered sugar.

Take a bite and let the chocolate just melt in your mouth.

Yuuuuuuuuuuummmy!

Baked Donut Monday: Chocolate Chip Donuts!

I'm back again for another Baked Donut Monday post

and today I'm going to tell you about some super tasty

CHOCOLATE CHIP DONUTS!!!

After making six different types of baked donuts,
I was stumped what type to make next,
but then I found this recipe with three different options!

While all of them sounded absolutely amazing,
I went with the Chocolate Chip ones this month
because hello - CHOCOLATE!!!

The Goods:

Butter

Vegetable Oil

Sugar

Brown Sugar

Eggs

Baking Powder

Baking Soda

Ground Nutmeg

Salt

Vanilla

All-Purpose Flour

Almond Milk

Mini Chocolate Chips

Powdered Sugar

Add butter, vegetable oil, sugar and brown sugar to a mixing bowl.

Then beat it all together until smooth.

Next add two eggs and beat again to combine.

Mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.

Add the vanilla and mix again.

Now it's time to add the flour to the batter, alternately with the milk.

Start with half the flour and mix it in.

Then add all the milk and mix again.

And finish with the rest of the flour mixing once more.

Dump in the chocolate chips...

And carefully mix them into the batter!

 Transfer donut batter to a large zipper bag.

Cut off the end of the zipper bag 

and fill your donut pan until 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Remove baked donuts from oven, but keep them in the pan a few minutes.

Transfer donuts to wire racks and cool completely.

Then shake the donuts in your desired coating!

I did half with regular sugar, and half with powdered sugar.

Now pour yourself a glass of cold milk, dig in and ENJOY!!!
