Cake Mix to Cookies

Another lazy day.

Maybe I should rename my blog to "The Lazy Girl" because this will be my third post about using a box mix to make something different, and better in my opinion, without getting out all the stuff to make it truly homemade.

This is so simple and the results were great- I don't know what it will take for me to actually make cookies from scratch again! 

Ingredients:

-1 Box Cake Mix

-2 eggs

-1/2 c oil

Yep! That's it! Just mix it all together, then plop them onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 8-10 minutes, then let cool before frosting.

For the frosting, I was in no mood to make the buttercream with eggs, and all that jazz, so I just googled up an easy, fast frosting recipe. Here's what I came up with, from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sugar-cookie-frosting/

Sugar Cookie Frosting

-4 cups confectioner's sugar

-1/2 c shortening

-5 Tbsp milk

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-food coloring

In a large bowl, cream together the confectioner's sugar and shortening until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and stiff, about 5 minutes. Color with food if desired.
