Project w/ Princess: Cake Cookies with Sprinkles

There are few things that our Princess likes as much as "pink ice cream."  However, a load of colorful sprinkles is pretty stiff competition.  So, when I saw a delightful post about cake cookies on the V and Co. blog,  I knew that I absolutely had to make them with Princess.  I was actually feeling brave and woke her up early from her nap yesterday so we'd be sure to have time to do this before it was time to start dinner preparations.

This recipe can also be found on pretty much any recipe website ever created.  It's very simple and yummy.  The cookies are light, moist and very sweet - sort of like a soft sugar cookie.

Ingredients:

1 box cake mix
1 egg
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. oil
sprinkles

Mix ingredients, roll dough into small balls and press tops into sprinkles.   Pressing the tops into sprinkles is a good job for little hands. (If dough is way too sticky to work with, add a little flour.  You still want it to be sticky enough to need to flour your hands.)

Lick your sticky fingers.



Place sprinkle side up on an ungreased cookie sheet. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or so and cool on a wire rack.

Eat a cookie.

Share a cookie with your little sister.

Next time I think we will have to try a pink cake mix and have a tea party.   Then I might try a chocolate cake mix.  Hmm...
