Cake Mix Cookies

I needed a quick birthday snack to send into school today for J's birthday celebration with his new class (which he loves!). I wanted to be fast and creative. I came up with these!
Cupcake Cookies...because although delicious, cupcakes are REALLY messy for 5 year olds!
One box of cake mix (I used vanilla)
1/4 c water
1/4 c oil
1 egg
Mix all ingredients together. Stir in an extra treat if you want to (I added colored sprinkles). Drop on greased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes in 350 degree oven.
After cookies are cooled, spread vanilla or chocolate frosting on the flat side of the cookie and top with another cookie to make a cupcake cookie sandwich!
Yummy and cute!

Riley

This is our new pup! He is 10 months old and quite adorable! We are having such a great time with Riley. We got him from a breeder when he was 8 months old and he was pretty well trained already (that was a life saver!!). I needed to train him to the electric fence though...sigh! Well, it all worked out fine and he was even leaving the yard on a lease with no problems (something our other Lab would never do, so walks were impossible unless you took him in the car to leave the property! UGG!) Anyway, yesterday I was getting the mail and Riley was walking next to me, usually he stops towards the end of the driveway but he must have forgotten and when he heard the warning beep for the fence, he bolted through it instead of retreating backwards. Then he didn't want to come to me because he was scared (do you blame him?) and after finally getting him (now picture me holding the mail and did I mention I was also carrying the baby?) and dragging him back into the yard he was scared to even be in the yard. He is doing better today, but this week, I have a lot of puppy training ahead of me!
