Chocolate. Is there anything better? How about EASY chocolate cookies? Are you drooling yet?
A friend recently shared a very simple cookie recipe made with only 4 ingredients: Mix together any cake mix (she used lemon; I used chocolate...duh), 1 egg, 1 8oz Cool Whip (any variety), and roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar before baking at 350 for ~9-11 minutes. The dough is very thick and at first you won't think it will all come together but, I promise, it will!!
The cookies were light, chewy, and scrumptious!! Make them today and you won't be disappointed!
Just had to share this with my chocoholic friends....you know who you are:-)

Meeting PW and MM
Last night, I met Pioneer Woman when she shared her life and signed her new book, Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. Marlboro Man was there, too, in his cowboy hat. My friends and I waited in line 2 hours for her signature, a joint photo, and to chat with her. Worth every second.....what a sweetie!
I can't wait to try some new recipes from her cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. We've loved all the ones we've tried so far. I'll post some recipes later to encourage you to try some too!
Happy cooking and happy eating!

Sharing the Sweet Life
What you need to know today:
I love sweets, any sweets, all sweets. Each of my teeth is the proverbial sweet tooth! A true chocoholic, I keep companies like Nestle and Ghiradelli in business. On a deserted island, my food of choice is chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate. Do you believe me now?
I've been cooking up a storm lately since starting Christmas cookies 2 months ago and haven't stopped. Finding and trying new recipes is exciting to me, and I enjoy sharing my creations with my best friend who lives next door. It works out for both of us.
Recently, I worked up a monthly menu and am loving it! No more decisions at 4pm about what to prepare, no more running out of ingredients because I shop for 2 weeks at a time (with a weekly stop for fresh produce), and no more hefty grocery bills because I'm not shopping as much. Normally, all this structure is a bit hard on me, but this routine seems to be freeing and simple.
My goal is to share a bit of my sweet life along with some favorite recipes and photos. Thanks for going on this journey with me. Welcome to my Dolci Life!
