These are favorite cookies that most people like so make some and take them to your next family get together or work party.

*Here is a yummy cookie recipe for Chocolate Cookies if you want to make them homemade.

Easy Chocolate Oreo Cookies

Whisk together cake mix and flour.

*1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix, brand of your choice, I recommend not using super moist Devil’s Food cake mix the batter is to sticky and you will have to add 8 to 10 tablespoons of Flour.
*2 tablespoons Flour

Whisk together eggs, water and extra light olive oil.

*2 Eggs
*2 tablespoons Water, add more only if needed
*2 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil or 2 tablespoons Butter Flavored Shortening, if you use shortening don’t whisk with eggs and water

Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix together. Roll into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls so that they are as close to the same size as possible. Place round cookie balls onto cookie sheet and press slightly flat. Bake the cookies at 350*F for about 10 minutes or until tops start to crack. Remove cookies from the oven and tap pan on the counter to flatten cookies. Cool cookies and frost with a Cream Cheese Frosting, frosting the bottom of one cookie and add another cookie making a sandwich/Oreo Cookie with a cream cheese frosting.

Easy Rolo Cookies

*1 box Devil’s Food Cake mix, WF brand worked well
*2 Eggs
*1/4-1/3 cup Extra Light Olive Oil

*Rolos, foil removed, wrapped inside cookie dough making a ball

Mix together the above ingredients and form into balls and then flatten them using enough cookie dough for each cookie to cover the Rolo. Place on a cookie sheet, I like using Silpat and bake at 350*F for 7-10 minutes.

I think these are yummy but I also liked them for the way they look; I think they would be a great for any holiday dessert.

Red Velvet Brownies

*1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
*1 box Fudge Brownie Mix

Mix each box individually and follow directions on the packages to make the cake (make sure you only beat cake batter until ingredients are incorporated together) and brownie batters. (Pour the Red Velvet Cake Batter evenly in each glass pan and then slowly layer on top the Fudge Brownie batter.)

Make sure to Spray/grease and flour 2 medium glass pans (11″x7″). Bake at 350*F. for 35 minutes, allow to cool and Frost.
