C is for Cookie

Sadly, no one will take me up on my offer to cook them dinner. They say they'd rather wait until I have a few more successful meals under my belt. Actually that's the nicest thing "they" said, but I guess I can't blame them. 20 years of bad cooking can't get fixed in just two crock pot meals. I gave my crockpot the night off.  I have enough leftovers to last a few nights and no one here to eat them except me.  I thought tonight maybe I'd try one of the dessert recipes I got instead.

This one came from one of my favorite people in the whole world, Selena. (I sure wish I could cook like her mom!) Selena sent me this recipe for Fudge Crinkle Cookies. Those are possibly my favorite cookies, but I usually only get them at Christmas. I probably should have left them in the oven a minute or two longer but they were super yummy and so easy to make. Here's the recipe.

Fudge Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box of Devil's Food cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup powdered sugar 

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together the dry cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Shape dough into 1" balls and roll the balls in confectioners' sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until center is just set. Cool on wire racks.

The pictures are not great but the cookies were and "THEY" aren't going to get any. HA! "They" refers to my mother, my aunt and my sister. One day they'll be sorry that they made fun of my cooking.
