Cool Whip Cookies (and I move next week)

 

OK, world. Here’s the deal. I move to Baltimore in one and a half weeks to start graduate school at the University of Baltimore.

I’m excited.

I’m nervous.

I’m scared out of my mind.

And I’m still going.

I have lived a lovely life here in my Sicklerville home, and I am more than grateful for the friends and family who have been my support system since I graduated last May. As I move onto this next chapter in my life, I know they will still all be there, standing by my side.

I can’t wait to bake in my new kitchen and share all the goods with my new graduate school neighbors. Do you think they’ll be okay with door decorations and snowflakes in the hallway?

We’ll see what the leasing office has to say . . .

Today’s recipe is from Happy-Go-Lucky.

Cool Whip Cookies

Ingredients
1 box cake mix (I used Funfetti)
1 8 oz container of Cool Whip
1 egg
Rainbow sprinkles (I used nonpareils)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix together the cake mix, Cool Whip and egg until the yolk is thoroughly mixed in.

3. Roll a tablespoon of dough into the sprinkles or nonpareils, and then place on a foil-lined baking sheet.

4. Bake for 13 minutes.

5. Carefully transfer to cooling racks. Sprinkles (or nonpareils) may stick to the foil.

Makes two dozen cookies.

Recipe Round-Up

What is good, Bakers Anonymous?

Yeah. I’m just going to leave that out there and move right onto something else. How about some deliciously simple recipes?

These Neapolitan cupcakes from iheart2stamp combine strawberry cake mix with chewy brownie bottom and vanilla frosting. Feel like mixing it up? Why not top with rainbow chip frosting? Use caramel turtle brownies and yellow cake mix? I love a versatile recipe.

The absolutely NEXT batch of cookies I bake is going to be these Cool Whip cookies with Sprinkles from Happy-Go-Lucky. I already have cake mix, sprinkles and one egg. I just need a container of Cool Whip. Saturday afternoon baking, here I come!

Looking for a bright, sweet (and holiday-like) cookie? Try these cherry chocolate kisses from The Curvy Carrot. I love maraschino cherries, milk chocolate kisses (I’m so going to buy a bag tomorrow) and almond extract. These are definitely going on my t0-bake list!

Sometimes you just want a change from cookies. Why not make this salted caramel pretzel bark from Mama Say What?! Not just her, but many others have declared this “crack bark.” So addicting, so delectable that you can’t stop eating, even if your tummy starts to hurt.

And if you have more available counter space, make this cookies and cream Oreo breakaway from Bakers Royale. A tray of white chocolate or milk chocolate coating and a sleeve or two of Oreos AND you have yumminess.
