More Fun Than Allowed…with Kids

I love to bake with the kids.  They love to help pour ingredients, crack the eggs, and sample the batter.  On Friday, in anticipation of Movie Night, Puddin Pop and I decided to make soft Oreo cookies.  It was very simple and they tasted Awesome.  Even got Hubby’s approval.  He thought I should go to the store to get something chocolate to go with the popcorn and High School Musical 3.  We sure fooled him.  If you’d like to try these for yourself…the recipe is below.

Warning:  The kids usually get to “clean the bowl” when we make cakes or cupcakes.  Since this recipe uses cake mix, PP was a little confused.  We put a batch of cookies in the oven and then I went to rotate the laundry.  When I came back she had removed the mixing bowl, from the counter, with all the “dough” and was munching on it, claiming to “clean the bowl.”  You’ve been warned. 

Soft Oreo Cookies

1 box Devil’s food cake mix

2 eggs

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

Mix together all ingredients.  Roll into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet and slightly flatten.  Bake at 350 in a preheated oven for 8-12 minutes.  Immediately upon removal from oven DROP cookie sheet onto a flat surface to flatten cookies.  Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and remove from tray.  When completely cooled put a healthy amount of creme cheese frosting between two cookies for a creamy, delicious soft Oreo cookie. 

Enjoy!
