As I have mentioned, I do love to bake. i am not the best baker and taKe a lot of shortcuts, but it's still fun to try every now and then! As a teacher, I really think that kids respond well to things that are made for them- some of mine have never had a teacher 'make' something especially for them!. So if a student of mine has a birthday, I try to bring them something to celebrate that occasion with them and the class. One of my very favorite young men in the world turned "18" today- what a milestone- and in addition to giving him his Selective Service form, I wanted to bring him a treat! So I had another student do some detective work and discover that his favorite cake is German Chocolate...
Hmm german chocolate, huh? That's kind of messy with the icing, right? Hmmm... and well, I have never made one of those so I decided to turn the cake into a cookie- because you know how I love to 'cheat' at making cookies! So I give you German Chocalate Cake Cookies!
1 box of German Chocolate cake mix
1 can of coconut- pecan icing/frosting
2 eggs slightly beaten
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup oats
6 onces chocolate chips
1. Mix the cake mix, oil, eggs, oats, and chocolate chips together.
2. Roll into balls about the size of a walnut and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press cookie down slightly. The cookies will spread and be flatter.
3. Bake in a 350* preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
4. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Move to rack to cool completely.
5. Using a knife, spread the icing on the bottom of one cookie and place the botton of another on top of that- creating a sandwich cookie.
I honestly just thought to myself, how do I make this a better cookie- and thought, it would work with icing in the middle... And it works! You don't even have to ask- This recipe is Dave tested and Dave approved in addition to a great young man, T, who turned 18 today!
