A Quick and Easy Christmas Cookie...

I wish we had a picture of these cookies, but sadly they are all gone. We ate them up!

But they are super easy and yummy...nothing hard..all you have to be able to do is open a package, crack an egg, and measure oil! Yup that's it!

Here's the recipe:

1 chocolate cake mix (I usually buy a cheap one around a dollar)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of semisweet chocolate chip or white chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together. Roll dough into balls, place on an un-greased cookie sheet, mash slightly, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Allow to cool for one minute before transferring to cooling rack.

~Healthy Peanut Butter Balls~

I tried these about a week ago, and they were super easy and delicious!! I also froze half of them for later, and they still were good after pulling them out! You can find the original recipe here along with other yummy recipes!

1 - cup honey


1 1/2 - cups creamy peanut butter

2 - cups dry powdered milk

3 - cups quick or old fashioned oatmeal, uncooked

1 - 2 - tablespoons wheat germ

(I used a wheat germ flax seed mix)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) or

graham cracker crumbs (optional)



Mix all together with hand mixer. Form into balls with hands and freeze on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper until firm. Remove from freezer and store in a large zip lock bag in the refrigerator.

Optional: If using chocolate chips add them with all the ingredients and roll into balls. If using graham cracker crumbs. After rolling into balls , roll into graham cracker crumbs and then freeze. I have always used either or but not both, my little guy loves the chocolate chips and my dd doesn't.

You can also leave out the wheat germ if you do not have any one hand. It wont alter the texture or taste. It was just a perk I added to sneak in some goodness.


Recipe yields: approx. 40 peanut butter balls
