Strawberry Brownies
I had such a wonderful response (via pinterest) with my strawberry cake mix cookies. I thought why not make them into brownies. And it is SO easy!
INGREDIENTS:
1 (18.5 oz) box Strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
Glaze:
Powered Sugar
Milk or water
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine cake mix, eggs and oil. The batter will be thick. Spray a 9 X 13 baking pan with cooking spray. Using your fingers press dough into pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Or until edges of the brownies are light brown.
You can let them cool and eat as is. Or glaze them right out of the oven hot! Or let cool then glaze them.

12-18 strawberries
Directions:
1. Rinse and let strawberries dry.
2. Melt white chocolate with 1 teaspoon shortening in a microwave bowl for 20 to 30 seconds at a time- until melted.
3. Dip each strawberry in white chocolate. Going a little more than half way up on the strawberry. Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and continue until all strawberries are dipped and coated in white chocolate.
4. Refridgerate for approx. 10 minutes to let the white chocolate harden.
5. Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate with the remaining teaspoon of shortening in a microwave safe bowl for 20 to 30 seconds, until melted.

7. Continue dipping in Semi-Sweet chocolate until all coated. Then take a tooth pick dipped in semi-sweet chocolate to create the ‘buttons’ of the tux. I also used a tooth pick to make the ‘bow’ just used a bit more chocolate and tried to create a “line” in between both dots.
Return to fridge to completely harden. Perfect for Valentine’s Day! My kids loved them! I should say my 2 kids that love strawberries loved them.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Another VERY easy to make recipe. So good!
While making these little cookies; it made me think of my grandma. She always made me a Strawberry Cake for my birthday when I lived in Oklahoma. It was one of the highlights of my birthday to get a strawberry cake from her. I just know she would have loved these little cookies!
You can also make these several ways:
Plain
With a dusting of Powdered Sugar
With White icing
Drizzle with chocolate
You could even add white chocolate chips –which I would think would be just dreamy in this cookie!
Ingredients:
1 Strawberry boxed cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
For Icing:
2 cups to 2 1/2 cups powered sugar (also known as icing sugar)
2 to 4 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add cake mix, eggs and oil and combine. This will become a dough so it will be thick.
3. Once mixed place a tablespoon to a tablespoon and half sized balls of dough on the cookie sheet. I used a cookie scooper to make it a little easier.
4. Cook in a preheated 375 degree oven. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes. Mine was done perfectly at 6 minutes 45 seconds! Be sure to watch it because ovens do vary.
5. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before cooling on a cookie rack.
6. Cool the cookies completely and add your favorite toppings. Plain, with icing, powered sugar…etc.
Directions for the icing:
Combing Powered sugar and milk and stir. I liked a thicker consistency for this icing. I believe I used 2 cups of powered sugar and 4 tablespoons of milk.
Place on cookie and let it sit to harden.
This cookie would be super fun to take to church functions, pot lucks…..or to make for Valentines Day.
~Enjoy!~
