1 box of cake mix
1 egg
1 stick of margarine, melted
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
See? Easy. Hasty-rific.
Anyway, I'd seen this recipe while looking at food blogs (something I try not to do very often--drool is not kind to a keyboard). The idea of a root beer flavored baked good was intriguing, but I didn't want to put all the work into the fancy recipe. So I hauled out my favorite cookie recipe, used a vanilla cake mix, and added a tablespoon of root beer extract.
Yum. So very yum.
And it's popular with the entire family. I made a 29-cookie batch less than 24 hours ago. While a number of them have been eaten by my most appreciative self, I have not been alone in their consumption.
It's easy to add other goodies to this recipe--butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, M&Ms, etc. Tell me what mash-ups you'd make, using what cake mix and what goodies?
That. Is. AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteChocolate cake and mint chips.
Chocolate cake and peanut butter chips with macadamia nuts.
Vanilla cake with a dash of almond extract and a cherry on top.
I wonder if one could throw in a handful of oatmeal for a bit of fiber and texture?
I could go on and on.
My trainer on my mission taught me this recipe. She used chocolate cake and made little cookies and put cream cheese frosting in between two cookies and called them homemade Oreos. Root beer cookies sound excellent, though. I'll have to try them sometime!
