Extra Ingredients

If I can make these...anyone can. I'm talking about strawberry chocolate chip cookies. I actually made cookies...like as in the dough wasn't already put together. Granted, this was probably the simplest recipe in the history of cookies, but I've ruined popcorn and frozen pizza. This was a giant leap for mankind. Or at least me.

I even managed to let the kiddos help me. Usually I get so flustered and distracted and bored when I try to cook anything that if I add hooligans to the list of ingredients? Recipe for disaster...or take out, either one. But this recipe started with a box of cake mix and only asked me to add a couple other things, one of which being chocolate chips that I managed to not eat the entire bag of first.

They turned out really yummy I think. The kids really liked them, and they are pretty much the pickiest people I've ever even heard of. We made them Valentine's Day, so I got my fix of pink and sweet stuff all in one dose.

I'm not gonna say exactly how many cookies it took to satisfy that fix, but I added at least one extra cookie to take the edge off the stress of having to get the egg shells out of the bowl, when Merrick so sweetly obliterated the egg as opposed to simply cracking it. He needs to work on his form, but I think I'll have to find a tutor for that one.
