I said back in December, when I unpacked my cookie jar collection, that I would do a cookie of the month. Well, here goes the first recipe four months late:
Cake Mix Cookies
1 yellow cake mix ($1 aisle
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (all I had on hand was flavored)
1/4 cup corn oil
8 Hershey’s Miniatures broken up into small pieces
What to do:
Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray muffin top pans with vegetable spray and set aside.
In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients. Form dough into balls (about 1 inch or so) and place one in each muffin space.

Place in your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Cool cookies in the pan for a couple of minutes, so they set up. These cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Cool completely on wire wracks and then place in your favorite cookie jar. This recipe makes 2 1/2 dozen.

Parker is having a baby sister in June. I have been sewing every spare minute I can scrape together. Wednesday evening my 32 year old Dial and Sew sewing machine bit the dust. A trip to the store with the W on it, netted me a new Singer. Wow! is all I can say. Such a difference. I love the new machine and won’t miss the old one.
The see through bobbin cover is great; no more sewing nothing, when you’ve run out of bobbin thread, but didn’t know it. It also has many decorative and monograming stitches to play with. The price was around $200. I am very pleased with it.
