While I love to cook, it is no secret that I am not a fan of baking. I CAN bake, it just isn’t my favorite thing to do. It is more of a science that cooking. With cooking I can experiment and throw whatever suits my fancy together and add a pinch of this and a dash of that. Baking requires exact measurements, precise temperatures and paying close attention to the details. It also usually requires time. Not always, but usually. And that is something I am always short on…which is why I like short-cuts…quick and easy meals and desserts that don’t take away lots of what I am already short on.

These cookies are not only quick and easy, they are a HUGE favorite. And they disappear VERY quickly. I made a batch the other day for our Mother’s Day celebration and they were gone almost as quickly as it takes to make them…and I had a request from one of nieces to please bring several batches to her birthday party…so today I am getting ready to make 4 batches of these little bites of sunshine to take to celebrate a young ladies birthday this weekend. Come on in and join me as we get to baking.

4 ingredients. That is ALL you need!

018

Mix up the cake mix, egg and whipped topping until it forms a dough.

Place the powdered sugar in a separate bowl.

 

019

Place teaspoon size balls of dough in the powdered sugar and roll around. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Lemon Buttons

1 package Lemon Cake Mix

1 large egg

4 ounces Cool Whip

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the cake mix, the egg and the cool whip in a bowl. It is going to form a very stiff dough, and be a little sticky. I then drop one teaspoon of dough into the powdered sugar and roll into a small ball. Place the dough on a greased cookie sheet, approx 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes. It will make between 5-6 dozen cookies, but they are small cookies.

I know that sounds like a lot of cookies, but if your house is anything like mine, they won’t last long.

080

Erin went for the Cookies and Cream

Chuka just couldn’t be left out and said YUMMM, YUM!

Overall every flavor was a hit. I think my personal favorite would have to be the Snack Size Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches but for an everyday treat I like the Cookies and Cream. Or the Chocolate Smoothie. Or the Giant Latte Bar. Or the Peach Swirl Greek Yogurt. Or the Blueberry Swirl Greek Yogurt. So yeah, I like them all. I just can’t help myself.

You scream, I scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!!
It is getting to that time of year where we stock up on more and more of our favorite treats. We are a big ice cream family. Here in the South the days are starting to get longer and hotter and there is just nothing better than a cool treat to help cool off. The problem with loving ice cream is all of the calories and fat that come with it. Thank goodness we now have options such as the new Weight Watcher line of cool treats to help us cool off AND save calories at the same time without the loss of any flavor.
