Cake & Frosting Cookies

True story:  these cookies have 3 ingredients.  The end.

I mean guys, 3 whole entire ingredients.  That means after about 2 minutes of mixing and 10 minutes of baking you have fresh hot fudgy awesome cookies that will make everyone around you jump for joy.

 

Or, you know, from a sugar high.  Whatever.  They’re jumping though, and it’s because of you!

 

This recipe stemmed from a donation to the Heather’s Dish household of both a box of cake mix and a tub of frosting.  As much as I adore a good cake (and yes, I believe good cake can come from a box mix), it’s just dangerous to have an entire cake hanging out in my kitchen.  It stares me down until I grab a fork, and then it’s all over.  Much better to go the cookie route and pretend like I didn’t eat 15 of them before sending them off to work with Nate.

 

Oh wait.  I said that out loud didn’t I?

 

Oops 🙂

CAKE AND FROSTING COOKIES

  • 1 box (18.25 oz) Devil’s Food (or other chocolate) cake mix
  • 1 can (16 oz) chocolate frosting
  • 1 whole egg

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine until well mixed.  I recommend refrigerating the dough for about 30 minutes so you can roll the dough into balls (makes for prettier cookies), but you can certainly just drop and bake at room temperature as well.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.  Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Fudgy, dense, uber-chocolatey and did I mention easy?  I’ll take it!

    These look good! I love bar cookies. What if you spread this in a pan? I might experiment and try it!

    Brilliant! It reminds me of a post Cakespy did about adding the frosting to the prepared cake mix before baking.

        Isn’t that what this is? You are mixing the frosting in the cake batter with the egg, correct? Thanks!

          well, i think what Erin was saying is that this other blogger (Cakespy) actually made the cake batter and then mixed the frosting into the cake batter. These cookies are literally just the dry cake mix, the frosting, and the egg – no cake batter required!

☀️Samples time! Interested in snagging some ☀️Samples time! 

Interested in snagging some clean sunscreen (FSA eligible🙌)? Or what about brightening your complexion? Or both? I’m sending out samples this weekend and would love to get some happy mail to YOU TOO! Drop your favorite emoji below and I’ll be in touch!
Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
.
Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
