I think next time I will defrost the cool whip before I add it to the cake mix. This dough was very sticky; I used a small spoon and dropped them into the powdered sugar so I could then touch them and form into a ball (so they didn’t look like a blob). Very tasty! -
Ok so I was skeptical....HOW could this work?! I used it as a last minute fix for a graduation grill out. It made A LOT of cookies..you think TSPs are tiny but they fill out to full size. TIPS: pull off pan when hot!.. watch closely, my oven cooks fast.I used french vanilla mix. made lemon icing,real lemon juice and powd sugar 1:2 on cookies that I did not use powsug and blueberries mixed in on the last bit of batter (juice for icing same way) and did use this recipe exactly the way they said (but with vanilla cake mix) so they made really good sugar cookies!)..I mistakenly grabbed vanilla instead of lemon..but glad I did so versatile! SO GOOD!

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
