Blue Valentine Cool Whip Cookies

These cookies are an easy and cute dessert for Valentine’s Day. The best part (aside from being sweet, chewy, and delicious) is that they only require a few ingredients.

Recipe

Ingredients:
1 box cake mix of your choice (I used rainbow chip)
1 cup (8 oz) cool frozen whip, thawed (I used low fat)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
powdered sugar
decorating icing (I used the Betty Crocker blue cupcake icing)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, cool whip, and egg until well combined.
3. Drop batter by the spoonful into a bowl of powdered sugar and roll the dough around to form a ball. Batter will be sticky so you may want to coat your fingers in powdered sugar or a bit of flour to make the rolling process easier.
4. Place the cookie balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet or sil pat and flatten them slightly.
5. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
6. Once cookies are completely cooled, use decorating icing to draw Valentine’s Day themed shapes on them (I made hearts, XOs, and I wrote the word love on some of them)

I hope you enjoy this Valentine's Day cookie recipe! What will you be baking for Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day Cookies & Cream Rice Krispie Squares

With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, I wanted to create a very festive (yet very quick and easy) dessert. The result:  pink white chocolate coated, oreo filled, gooey marshmallowey Rice Krispie squares.

This dessert is a delicious twist on the regular Rice Krispie squares recipe, and it takes less than 30 minutes to make.

Recipe

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
20 Oreo cookies
6 cups mini marshmallows
3/4 cup red chocolate wafers
2 tbsp heart-shaped sprinkles

Directions:
1. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
2. Chop or break Oreos into small pieces. Pour the cookie pieces into a large bowl and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir to combine.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add marshmallows.
4. Once marshmallows are melted, remove from heat and add in the cookie/cereal mixture. Mix well.
5. Press mixture into the 9x3 inch prepared pan.
6. Melt the red chocolate wafers in the microwave on low heat, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
7. Spread the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie squares. Before the chocolate cools, pour the heart-shaped sprinkles on top.
