Tasty Tuesday- Num Num Desserts

Holy wow! Another Tasty Tuesday post! Maybe I'm more Betty Crocker than I thought? Hm? No, I still blame Pinterest. I see yummy fewds every day when I log on for some pinning action and I'm left wanting to bake and cook. Pinterest is a dirty enabler to my addiction.

After making dinner the other night I came across a box of cake mix and a can of frosting. Cupcakes sounded like a super yummy dessert so I got to work. When I pulled the snacky paraphernalia out of the cupboard I noticed a rather intriguing recipe on the side of the box. A recipe for Funfetti Cookies. "YES!", I thought, "COOKIES WE WILL HAVE! NOT CAKE!". I almost shouted. But then I remembered that yelling "cookies" and "cake" would be stupid as crap. I'd have kids up my butt asking 78,564 questions about what I'm making, when they'll be done, if they could help, someone would be burned, messes would be made, and chaos would ensue! I wasn't in the mood for cooking with the kids. So sue me. Let's get back to the cookies people.

Okay, so SUPER mega simple recipe here. Even more easier than making cake!

Here's what you need:

•1 (18.9-oz.) pkg. Pillsbury® Moist Supreme® Funfetti® Cake Mix
•1/3 cup oil
•2 eggs
•1/2 (15.6-oz.) can Pillsbury® Creamy Supreme® Funfetti® Vanilla Frosting

What you do:

•Preheat your oven to 375°F.
•Dump all of your ingredients into a bowl. {Captain obvious says to leave out the packaging and egg shells, tee-hee.} 
•Stir it up! Stir it up! Stir it up yo! Make sure to be really theatrical in stirring. Jump up and down while singing obnoxiously, "Stir it up!". The enthusiasm will make the cookies just that much yummier. Stir with a spoon {because socks make horrible stirrers} until everything is moist. {I'm sorry, but I have always, and will forever hate the word "moist".}
•Form the dough into 2" balls. This is the perfect time for middle school humor. Take advantage.
•Place the dough balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2" apart.
•Smursh the balls into cookie-like forms. You can use the bottom of a glass. I just used to my hands.
•Stick those mo fo's in the oven!
•Bake at 375°F for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are a pretty golden brown.
•Take the cookies out of the oven, {don't forget that oven mitt!} and let cool for 1 minute.
•Frost to your hearts delight. 

This is after I smurshed the balls into cookie-like forms.

These are my over-baked cookies fresh from the oven!

These are my finished product! My frosted Funfetti Cookies of yummy goodness.

The recipe supposedly yields 3 dozen cookies. I made 9 and they weren't even THAT big. Okay, they were pretty big...but there's not way you would get 3 dozen normal sized cookies. Maybe 3 dozen tee tiny baby cookies.

This leaves me wanting to try this with other cake and frosting flavor combinations! I'm thinking red velvet and cream cheese icing! Yum! I will be sure not to over-bake next time. They weren't nearly as good as they could have been. {Even well done they were yummy though.}
