Easiest Cookie Recipe ever
(Use to buy good grades, better social standing, and social interaction) (quick for holiday party potlucks)
My mom stole this off pintrest years ago, and its since been our family favorite!
So since it's holiday season, and i made them this morning, I'm sharing it with y'all :) It has 4 ingredients, takes 7-8 minutes of baking time per sheet, and each batch makes a little over two dozen cookies that are beloved by everyone we can get to try them.
Warning before the actual instructions/recipe, this is written very nuerodivergently and in common terms. It's step by step instructions after the ingredients, with sassy comments galore. I highly suggest reading all the way through before making.
Ingredients:
Box of chocolate cake mix (supposedly pillsbury devil's food works best. Or maybe just any devil's food. Idk she said blue box i can't read minds)
two eggs
1/3 cup of oil
about 2 dozen, or 2 and a half dozen rolo's candies. (aka 24-30)
Steps:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit
Wash your hands
Line cookie sheets (1-3 for one batch) with parchment paper (VERY IMPORTANT)
Mix the eggs and oil into the cake mix. (a medium sized bowl is preferred for one batch.)
It will take much longer than you expect to mix thoroughly.
Mix with a spatula until the entire thing is evenly mixed. Looks gross and sticky and dark brown and should almost be like oily play dough.
It will take much longer than you expect to mix thoroughly. Keep mixing. I promise it will work (spatula is for scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, this ones sticky.)
Wash your hands
Unwrap all of the rolo candies. Helpful to do it before you need to.
Take a spoon, and get a small spoonful of the dough.
Use your hands*, and mush the dough around one rolo until it has a core of caramel goodness that will later melt.
Should be around the size of a ping pong ball, and no larger than a golfball unless you want unevenly cooked cookies.
Space them evenly on the parchment paper (Staggering works well. doesn't matter if they touch during baking when they spread, but try your best.)
Wash your hands. (your hands will be gross at this point)
Bake for 7-8 minutes Exactly.
They never look done until they're over cooked. Take them out at 8 minutes max. If you're not sure, break one open at 5 minutes and see if the dough is uncooked. It never is. idek how.
Wash your hands
Let cool for about 5 minutes, to give the caramel time to solidify enough, then lift the parchment paper up to unstick the cookies from the pan.
Let cool for another 10 minutes.
If you ignored the parchment paper rule, lets hope you like doing dishes and used lots of cooking spray on the cookie sheets :) (you will be spending an hour scraping caramel and burnt sugar off the pans. I told you it was important.) (Oh, and all of your cookies left their bottom half on the pan. Also happens if you don't move them after 5 minutes of cooling.)
Optional - Sprinkle powdered sugar on them for extra holiday flair. (It makes them look pretty instead of brown lumps)
Yay! Cookies are done! It's chocolate, with a caramel inside that will surprise anyone who didn't make them!
Can theoretically be made without gluten,and/or milk. It has not been tested. Fuck around and find out? (and lemme know if you do!)
*FOR ANY OF MY FELLOW NUERODIVERSE PEOPLE
If the stickiness of the dough on your skin bothers you (or is just too sticky to work with) you can use margarine on your hands like a lotion to keep it from sticking. It feels worse to me personally, but I figured I'd say it anyways just in case. Dawn dish soap makes the margarine and cookie dough come off the fastest by breaking through the oils.

hey everyone!
because exam seasons starts next week for me, i’m going to be on a writing/blog hiatus! i’m not sure if i’ll come back straight after my exams, so my hiatus may be prolonged/shortened. who knows.
i’d also like to unfortunately say that i have no motivation to finish the asks y’all sent me for my 500 follower event :(. please understand that i really have tried for this event, and i have been planning it months in advance. however, due to my poor timing and motivation, i’ll sadly have to delete all my asks in my inbox. again, i’m so sorry.
i think from now on i’ll only do request-type events when i have the motivation and energy.
i do hope you’re all doing well and have an amazing day/night <3 please stay safe and healthy, dress apropriately for the weather, drink water, and take care of yourself <33
