Non-Fat Tuesday: Germaine's Cake Cookies

-

In October of 2013, my grandma Germaine passed away. This will be our second Christmas without her in my family and we all miss her sooooo much! In honor of my grandma and keeping her spirit alive, I wanted to post her recipe for cake cookies.

Did you know that you can make cookies out of cake mix? My grandma did it every year with a variety of cake flavors and they are amazing! They also stay soft for over a week and they are so easy to make.

What You Will Need

  • 1- 18.25 Oz Box Cake Mix
  • 2-Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Oil
  • 2-Tablespoons Water
  • Sprinkles (Jimmies) of Your Choice


Directions

  1. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and water in a bowl.
  2. Place batter in the freezer for 30 minutes to thicken.
  3. Roll into 2-inch balls on a cookie sheet.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Sprinkles
Add your sprinkles to the cookies about half way through baking. If you try to add them when you take them out of the oven, they will not stick to your cookie.

**Thank you for reading! I hope that you try this recipe and enjoy a tasty memory that I have of my Gram Germaine. I love and miss you, Gram!! <3 **

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.
