28th 52, Chocolate chip cookies!

Easiest cookies ever. I had these in the oven 10 minutes tops. it's because these are made from a cake batter. They taste awesome though, you can barley tell they were made from a cake batter. I brought these with us on our trip to South Carolina. They are really soft and very chocolatey. Just the way I like them!

Ingredients:

• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12oz)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Pour the cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in the butter, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are golden. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks. 

27th 52 Dessert Sushi!

I am very sorry! I haven't blogged in a while. I've been insanely busy. I had regionals for Science Olympiad, then I had softball tryouts for school and then I made the team and I've had so many practices, plus I just got home from South Carolina- I had been there since last Friday. Important thing is, I'm here now! So lets get to it. I made dessert sushi. It tastes a lot better than it sounds! I used rice krispy treats, fruit roll ups, cake and icing, coconut, mini marshmallows, and a good bit of food coloring. I tried making California rolls first, but as you can see from the picture, that didn't work out to well. The rice krispy treat didn't roll nicely so I ended up making octopus (which was apparently the wrong color, oops!), eel, and Swedish fish sushi. I'm just going to put the recipe for the Swedish fish ones but if you want the recipe for any of the other ones ask and I'll post it. So here's the recipe!

Ingredients: (For Swedish fish.)

• Swedish fish
• Rice krispy treats
• sweetened coconut
• Green or blue fruit roll up
• White icing

Directions:
Roll out your rice krispy treats to about 3/4 inch thick and cut into squares. Cut a strip of fruit roll up and put a dab of icing on it and wrap it around the edge of the rice krispy treat. Ice the top lightly and dip in coconut. Put a little icing on the Swedish fish and put in the middle of the sushi piece. Enjoy!

California rolls, didn't go too well
