RECIPE FOR A PERFECT SNOW DAY


Snow day, snow day, snow day!  Well, meteorologists gave us accurate weather forecasts today…the creeping fog disappeared and the atmosphere dumped seven inches of snow on us.  Krumbs and I have had a fantastic morning flopping through snow drifts, constructing snow ramps and throwing snowballs—ahh! 

Don’t you just love a SNOW DAY!?!?!

Krumbs and I love snow and we love hot chocolate and we love playing in the snow.  Snow days are just plain fun days…with a little chocolate thrown in the mix!  Sure, we have hot chocolate, but we also make fabulous chocolate cookies using a chocolate cake mix.  We found the recipe on the Duncan Hines website quite a while ago.  It is easy and you only need three ingredients. Check it out, but ask for permission from and adult and for help using the oven before you start:

Easy, Easy Cake Mix Cookies

1 Box Duncan Hines Cake Mix (You choose the flavor or you can use whatever flavor is in your kitchen cabinets)

2 eggs

½ cup oil

Mix everything together and drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets.  Bake them for 9-11 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

You can mix anything sweet into your cookie dough.  We’ve used dried cranberries, walnuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, caramel crunchies, and squashed peppermint candies.  They were all just yummy!!!!

 

That’s it!  A little hot chocolate, a plate of warm cookies and a visit to the Cafe will make this day perfect.  Have a great day!  Hope to see you at the Imagination Cafe!
