D is for Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies!
This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet. It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.
It's crazy that the ordinary letters are the ones I'm struggling to decide what to make. I debated because I have some lovely red dragonfruit chunks in the freezer but in the end I went with these cake mix cookies.
I've made cake mix cookies before and they are always a hit. Since today is Valentine's Day I really wanted something chocolate so I chose a Pillsbury Devil's Food Cake for the base. The recipe says "regular" size cake mix, the Pillsbury is 15.25 ounces.
The only real change I made to the recipe was to swap out a tablespoon of the water for coffee. It just really helps to deepen the chocolate flavor. I also pressed some additional chocolate chips on the top of half the cookies and on the other half I did some fun sprinkles.
I got exactly 24 cookies which will not last very long around here! Since I used a handheld mixer for the whole process they stayed really nice and puffy, which made them a little more cake-like than cookie-like but that was fine with us.
Thank you again to Wendy for hosting the 2024 Alphabet Challenge and to the other bloggers for sharing their recipes this week! Check them out using the links down below! You can see all of the recipes I've made for the challenge here- Alphabet Challenge 2024
