Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies

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.

cookies made with devil's food cake mix are arranged on a decorative blue and white plate.

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

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
