Carrot Spice Cookies

My friend Mary made these delicious Carrot Spice Cookies for New Year’s Eve. I have to say that they are quite addictive. If you like carrot cake, you will love these cream cheese frosting topped treats. The recipe is from Betty Crocker and is made using carrot cake mix. The cranberries and cream cheese frosting are the perfect addition to the carrot cake flavor.

Carrot Spice Cookies

Ingredients:

1 box Betty Crocker carrot cake mix
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 eggs
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat cake mix, flour, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stir in cranberries.
On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting on High 10 to 15 seconds or until frosting is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle frosting over cookies.

I have always loved brand name recipes on the back of boxes and cans! Did you know that there is a site dedicated completely to back of the box recipes? I just found the Back of the Box recipe site recently, and I love it! I discovered this cheesecake bar recipe on the back of a Betty Crocker cake mix box while browsing in the baking aisle at Super Target. Now this is not the healthiest recipe by any means, but it is definitely easy and delicious. It only has three steps and requires very few ingredients. I can’t wait to surprise the girls at work with this fun pink treat!

Apple Filled Coffee Cake

Coffee cake is such a wonderful breakfast treat. When I was little, my mom frequently had Entenmman’s coffee cakes as special treats for weekend breakfasts. My favorites were the ultimate crumb coffee cake and the cream cheese filled crumb coffee cake. I decided this Sunday should be a coffee cake day. This recipe is from Kraftfoods.com and is very versatile. You can use any flavor pie filling, and top it with nuts if you desire. This Sunday seemed like an apple and cinnamon kind of day, so I used apple pie filling!

2. Bake 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 min.
