Hmm, cake or cookies, cake or cookies? Well, why not both! These Cake Batter Cookies are like amped up sugar cookies only with the delicious taste of buttery yellow cake. They are so good! If you love sugar cookies and yellow cake, this cookie is for you.
This cookie recipe calls for a full box of dry instant vanilla pudding. The pudding helps give the cookies a super moist, fluffy texture. I’m usually not a cookie person but I can’t keep my hands off these! I’m sitting here daydreaming of two cake batter cookies with a scoop of cake batter ice cream in the middle. Now that would be heaven!

It had been so long since I had a good old Rice Krispie treat. I had been craving them but wanted to try something different. Hubs loves Lucky Charms cereal and I knew I had seen other bloggers make krispie treats with Lucky Charms so I gave it a try.
I do think next time I will still use some Rice Krispies with the Lucky Charms though. There were a lot of empty nooks and crannies because of the odd cereal shapes. I like my marshmallow bars a bit more dense but these were still yummy.
Beware though, Lucky Charms marshmallow treats are very sweet. But I did like how crunchy the cereal stayed in bar form. Hubs of course loved them and devoured the whole pan with maybe a little help. 
Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats
1 small box Lucky Charms cereal
1 bag mini marshmallows
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
Spray a 13×9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large pot, melt butter and marshmallows until smooth. Stir in cereal until combined. Pour into pan and press evenly fingers sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Let cool and cut into squares. Enjoy!
This recipe for soft sugar cookie bars would be perfect for taking to a family picnic or gathering. It makes a huge 13 x 18 pan full of yummy sugar cookie bars. They are super soft and the cream cheese icing is to die for. It’s not too sweet and sugary, just right. And they look so pretty in the pan or cut up into squares and arranged on a platter.

If you like Cool Mint Oreos and chocolate, you’ll love these! Basically they are Oreo crumbs mixed with a bit of cream cheese and dipped in white chocolate. And they are yummy!
The centers end up moist, minty and fudge like. And the white chocolate on the outside is nice and creamy without being too sweet or sugary. So much fun to eat, just pop them in your mouth and go.

Recipe Type: dessert
- 1 whole package of Mint Creme Oreos
- 4 – 6oz cream cheese
- 11oz bag Ghiradelli white chocolate chips
- lollipop sticks (I buy mine at Michaels)
- In a food processor, grind all of the Oreos into fine crumbs. Add 4oz cream cheese and blend until crumbs become dough like consistency. You want to be able to roll into balls but you don’t want them too loose. I only used 4 oz of the cream cheese but you can add more if you prefer.
- Chill in refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Roll into 1″ balls, push lollipop sticks in and place on parchment lined baking pan. Chill for another 30 minutes.
- Microwave chocolate chips just until melted. You can thin it out with vegetable oil if you prefer. Gently dip chilled truffle pops into melted chocolate to cover completely. Let excess drip off and place back onto parchment lined pan.
- Let chocolate set completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
