Yesterday, as I was preparing for my primary lesson (I teach the 3 yr. old sunbeams), I realized I did not have anything suitable to bring for a treat. I usually try and bring a little snack for my kids each week because it is nearly impossible for three-year-olds to go three hours without food. I've also found that it helps maintain their attention and my sanity! Now, I normally try and bring something with at least a little nutritional value, but there's not much you can do with an empty pantry on Sunday morning. With only an hour left before it was time to leave, I suddenly remembered a quick, easy recipe that Hilary Gardiner gave me last fall. It's for the most basic, but delicious, pumpkin cookies you've ever had. Just mix a 15 oz. can of pumpkin with a box of Spice Cake cake mix and put it in the oven on 350 for about 10 minutes. That's it! Two ingredients! I think the recipe Hilary gave me also called for chocolate chips, but since I'm not a huge chocolate chip fan, I decided to try white chocolate chips. OMG! They were to die for!! I also made a few plain ones and put cream cheese frosting on them. Also, to die for! Thanks so much Hilary for this quick, easy recipe that saved the day. I think I've eaten almost 30 in just the last two days, but I guess that just means they'll be gone sooner...right?!
YUM! Can't wait to try these. Thanks for the tip, Hilary and Rachel!
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing that with an empty pantry you still managed to pull out a 15 oz. can of pumpkin and a box of spice cake. Oh, and don't forget the white chocolate chips! I wish I had your empty pantry!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, they really do sound delicious. I can't wait for the fall treats.
