Successful Week for the Ta-Tas and Sweet Treats for Me

Hold on to your hats folks, because I am going to blow you away.  As of this morning, our total for the 

Bras for the Cause fundraiser is at $35,000. 

Now that is pure sweetness !  We are going to be able to buy so many wigs, prosthesis and other medical needs with this money.  It took some sweat, tears and a little blood (well, i did get a paper cut or two) but mostly pure manpower.  If you want to read about some of our fun and shenanigans, then visit our facebook page.  Just click the pink link below.

It isn't a secret in my family, that I like cookies.  Nothing fancy, just a little cookie I can pop in my mouth and keep on moving.  No one makes a batch of sugar cookies without preparing an extra batch just for me. It's sort of like the cardinal rule around here.  After all the hard work last week and then of course, the sleepless nights, I needed cookies.  I'm not a store bought cookie fan unless it is a Milano and I wasn't going to get out of my pajamas just for a Milano.  I did what any lazy cookie lover would do, I went to the internet and found the easiest cookie recipe I could find.  What I didn't want to have to do is pull down a ton of ingredients and mix the batch.  I found it, the easiest cookie recipe on earth and it only took 20 minutes from beginning to end.  The end being me popping a warm cookie full of chocolate chips and pecans into my mouth.  It's basic enough and tasteful enough that you could fill it with all sorts of little extras. 

Best and Easiest Cookie Recipe In the World 

or how I managed to make myself slightly sick off of a cookie recipe !!!  

Kiddies, don't try this at home, unless you are ready to gain a pound or two. 

Remember : 20 minutes, beginning to end. 

Reach over there and get the oven on 350 and let it start warming up. 

Recipe : 

One plain cake mix :  I used yellow, but you can use any flavor at all. Today I'm grabbing a box of strawberry and devils food. I have to make a patch for my students.  

Two Eggs

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil/Canola Oil/Peanut Oil : oil of your baking choice 

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup pecans 

(now remember you can throw anything in there, I'm going to do M&Ms in a white cake mix for a gift) 

Put the cake mix in a bowl, add the eggs and stir it up. Now add the oil, keep stirring.  Now put in the chocolate chips and pecans or whatever, keep stirring.  Let it all blend nicely together. 

Spray the cookie sheet with a little non-stick stuff or use a baking paper. 

Drop the cookie dough onto the sheet. Make them the size of a walnut.  I found the dough easy to just pick up and plop on. 

Bake for 10 minutes. 

cool for one minute. 

Cookies !!!!!  Yum, Yum.  

 Cookies for Me.

 

Cookies for a Friend.

So the next time you need a little pick me up or even a plate of cookies as a thank you, you have it. 

Have fun with these.
