"Forget Love I'd Rather Fall in Chocolate" Cookies

These, my friends, are the perfect ooey gooey, rainy day, sunny day, any day, chocolate, make your tongue sing cookies. It's true. 

I found this recipe at Rolled Up Pretty and decided to give it a go. 

Makes around 3 dozen small cookies or 2 dozen large

You will need:

1 Box of Chocolate Cake mix 

2 Eggs

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

Powdered Sugar (no exact amount but just enough to coat all the cookies)

Add the cake mix, eggs, and oil into a large bowl

Mix the batter into a perfect poop texture. I had to add a bit of water but the powder didn't totally disperse itself.

 Roll the mix into balls, making sure to knead out any remaining powdered mix. Dip them into Powder Sugar and roll the balls around until they're mostly coated.

Put them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for around 10-12 minutes for large cookies and around 8-10 minutes for small cookies.

They WILL be gooey. Just test them with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's good. They're obviously going to be brown so you won't be able to tell if they're burnt until you taste them. I may have possibly burnt my first batch a wee bit...

Oh God they're pure chocolate heaven...

Nutella and Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are the perfect balance of peanut butter and chocolate. They taste almost like a reece's peanut butter cup. They crunchy on the on the outside and gooey on the inside. They're great!

Now don't mind the dark pictures. I have a late night baking problem.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Nutella

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

1/2 cup Sugar

1 egg

1 cup Flour

1 tbsp Water

You could also substitute the 1/2 cup of Nutella and 1/2 cup of Peanut Butter for 1 cup of Nutella if you're more of a chocolate lover. 

Makes 1 dozen large cookies or 2 dozen small cookies. Perfect for a "mommy only" treat!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. The white chunks came from the crunchy peanut butter. Don't worry!

 3. Form into medium size-ish balls. They may or may not look like lumps of poop. 

4. Smash down with your palm or a glass.

5. Bake for 7-8 minutes. If you're cookies are thicker, you may need to cook them for up to 10 minutes or even more depending.

 6. Let them cool and enjoy!

They're perfect and gooey!

 Delish! 

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

I've been yet to jump on the mug/jar bandwagon. Today I joined the pack. I think I made a good decision. On Pinterest , I found a recipe for a chocolate mug cake from ATX Gluten-Free. The original recipe called for odd ingredients like Coconut Palm Sugar, Vanilla Almond Milk, and coconut oil. I'm not a proud owner of any of those ingredients. I decided to change the recipe to use normal ingredients. Here's MY recipe for a Chocolate Mug Cake:

 Gather your ingredients:

• 1 large mug
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons self rising flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons milk

 1. Grease your mug with some cooking spray for easy clean up after wards. A little over kill is okay.

 Add your flour....

 sugar....

 egg...

 cocoa powder...

 milk... (aim for the mug not the counter)

 Oil....

 Vanilla....

 And MIX!

 And keep mixing until it's smooth!

 Make sure your flour is self rising.

 Pop it in the microwave for a 1 1/2 -3 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave

 Not done yet... pop it back in for another 30...

 Wallah!

The white is chunks of egg that didn't get mixed in. I suggest beating your egg before you put it in... something I usually forget to do...
Please excuse the crappy pictures. A camera with 4.0 mega pixels, how do I put this nicely? SUCKS.

When I say large, I mean large!

I found an even better mug cake recipe at Babble. It was amazing!
