Easy Cake Mix Cookies

So lately I have been seeing a lot of recipes for cookies made from cake mix; naturally this intrigued me, so I decided to give it a shot. I can honestly say these are the best cookies I have made in a very long time; not only are they soft & chewy, but they also have the perfect amount of crunch to them, and require minimal dishes.

So without further delay, here's my super easy cake mix cookie recipe for Triple Chocolate Cookies!



Ingredients:

1 box of Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix cake mix, vegetable oil and beaten eggs together until everything is well mixed.
Stir in chocolate chips.

Refrigerate the cookie dough for 15 minutes.

Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto un-greased baking trays, keeping them spaced 1 to 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-9 minutes. 

Remove cookies from oven and let rest on the pans for 2 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the pans and let cool completely.

Serve & Enjoy!


Take Care,

Leanne.

Homemade Margarita Mix

I'm a huge fan of margaritas! This sweet & sour drink takes me back to great memories of my tropical vacation in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. If you love lime margaritas like I do, you will agree with me that the generic store bought mix just doesn't cut it. This is why I felt the need to post this awesome homemade margarita mix!



Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (8-12 limes)

For each margarita:
2 ounces homemade margarita mix
2 ounces silver tequila
1 ounce orange liqueur
lime wedges/slices for garnish (optional)

Directions:
To make the margarita mix; heat water and sugar in a small sauce pan until completely dissolved and the water is clear. Let cool. Pour into a pitcher with lime juice. Leftovers will keep 7-10 days in a jar in the fridge.

To make margaritas, combine 2 ounces mix, 2 ounces tequila, and 1 ounce orange liqueur. Shake well, strain into ice filled margarita glass. Garnish with lime slices.


Take Care,

Leanne.
