Homemade Oreo Cookies


These cookies are so fast, they'll be on the cookie sheet ready to go before the oven is preheated!


1 box Devil's Food cake mix
½ cup oil
2 eggs


Stir the cake mix, oil, and eggs together until smooth. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch or so. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 F for 10-14 minutes, depending on how big the dough balls are. After the cookies have cooled, spread frosting on the back and make it into a sandwich. 

Filling #1: one jar of marshmallow cream (about 7 oz), 8 oz cream cheese and a teaspoon of vanilla extract
Filling #2: 8 oz cream cheese (softened), ½ cup butter, 2 Tbsp vanilla, 2 cups powdered sugar
Filling #3: Store bought frosting

Blueberry Cream Scones

My favorite scone recipe! You can also add chocolate chips instead of blueberries if you want a more "dessert - ish" scone.

Blueberry Cream Scones

Author: Adapted from “Joy of Cooking”
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: makes 8-12 scones
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in blueberries. Add the cream and mix together, gently, with a wooden spoon until just barely combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  3. Transfer dough to a lightly-floured board or counter-top. Using your hands, gently pat the dough down into an 8-inch disk, about 3/4 inch thick. You can use the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch cake pan to help you press the dough down evenly if need be. Brush the top of the disk with a bit of cream and sprinkle with sugar. Cut dough into 8-12 triangles and arrange on un-greased baking sheet, at least a half-inch from one another.
  4. Place baking sheet on center rack in oven, and bake for 12-15 minutes until scones turn golden. Allow to cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes. Enjoy while still slightly warm.

Smores Cobbler

S’MORE COBBLER
1 cup whole milk
1 (5 oz.) package “cook and serve” chocolate pudding mix
6 whole graham crackers
1/2-3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 box chocolate cake mix
3/4 cup butter
large marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine milk and chocolate pudding package.  Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and spread evenly.
Break graham crackers in half so that you have 12 squares.  Place the graham cracker squares on top of the pudding leaving space between each square.
Sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips. 
Melt butter in microwave.  Mix in cake mix to the melted butter until completely blended.  Spread on top of the mini chocolate chips/graham crackers.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Remove and place large marshmallows on top to cover.  Bake another 5 minutes then switch oven to broil.  Watch closely at this point because your marshmallows will brown fast. It should only take 1-2 minutes to brown after the oven has been switched to broil.
Take out of oven and let cool a little bit.
This is best eaten warm!
