Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies!

Well, the events of last week left me a little on the overwhelmed side. Let's just say there was a roller coaster of emotions, but nothing a little time with my boys this weekend couldn't help. After all three of my guys were done alternating funky viruses (I'm waiting for them to hit me! knock on wood they will pass by me...), we decided that a little family time was in order. We didn't do anything in particular, but it was a nice weekend filled with walks and games...and a little bit of shopping for some school clothes to go with the changing season. All in all it was a great weekend...just what we all needed.


I also took some time to go through some pictures and recipes I've made lately so hopefully I can catch up on some sharing. You know what they say...sharing is caring (hopefully that doesn't go for the viruses that have been going around). Anyway, I made these exactly 1 month ago. I can't believe how behind I am! I figured it was time to share these tasty treats...


While I normally go for making things from scratch, I like the ease of semi-homemade eats too! We used to bake cake mix cookies back in our non-gluten free days. I hadn't tried a gluten free version yet. I had cream cheese frosting left over from Jay's birthday cupcakes, so I thought some soft cakey devil's food cookies would pair well with it. Indeed it did!


The guys went crazy over these! Soft, cakey, creamy, gooey...really what's not to like?


Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies

1 chocolate cake mix (I used Betty Crocker's GF)
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Comine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. The dough will be too thick to use a mixer. Scoop the dough using a small cookie scoop onto the lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire cooling wrack. Cool completely before filling. I filled mine with cream cheese frosting.

From scratch or semi homemade or both? I love coming up with new exciting recipes, but sometimes l like a little simplicity and help.

Have a great week!

I'm sharing these on Slightly Indulgent Tuesday and Allergy Free Wednesday this week!

    Looks like a homemade oreo! But probably even better since cream cheese frosting is involved... yessss

    I'm glad things are getting better. Sick families are no fun. Especially since the male variety always seems to whine a little more about said sickness. Am I right? lol ;)

    Here's to a good week!

    oh my goodness, I have had at least 5 clients have to cancel/reschedule in the last two weeks - it's the back-to-school flu bug going around!
    Those cookies? Wouldn't mind if you sent some my way. Just sayin' ;)

    yeah, um, what is this 'leftover frosting'? ;)

    these look so SO good... soft (and tastier!) oreos.

    I hope this week is a better one for you, and that you stay healthy and boy-virus free! :D XXO

    I want to give him the candy, so I bought a big bag of candy, generously distributed to each person in the class. Finally do the indifference, gave candy to him: "Hey, do you eat?"

    Stupid thing to do when a loved who is probably hesitated between confessing or not confess, then once touched, at an inappropriate time, decided to confess and receive the results of an unwanted want. Finally is struggling between regret and do not commit the heart, until he himself quit
