3 1/3 c. flour 2/3 c. cocoa 2 tsp. baking soda 1 bag of chocolate chips (or mint chips if you like and can find)

Mix together ingredients on left. Sift ingredients on the right and combine together. Add chips. Roll into walnut sized balls and then roll in granulated sugar. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 8 minutes.


This is my sister Heather's recipe. My niece Lindsay loves to make it. She made it for us one holiday when they were visiting and Isaac has been wanting the recipe ever since. We finally got it this summer and made a bunch to give away and they were a hit. They are super chocolaty and so soft, but not gooey. Their name perfectly fits them. Give them a try, you will not regret it! (But your hips might because you will most likely eat the whole batch).

Pumpkin Surprise Cake

1st Step:

1 Box Yellow Cake mix (set aside 1 cup)
1 egg
1/4 lb melted butter

Pour cake mix into mixing bowl; add egg and butter and mix. Press into pan which has been greased and floured.

2nd Step:

1 1/2 C pumpkin
2 eggs
3/4 C sugar
1 C milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp ginger

Mix together and pour over cake mixture.

3rd Step:

1 C cake mix that was set aside
1/2 stick butter

Cut butter into cake mix and sprinkle evenly over top of the pumpkin mixture.
Bake 40 min @ 350 and cool. Serve with whipped cream. Whipped cream is really easy to make yourself and does not leave that weird film in your mouth like cool whip.

I've actually never made this, it's my mom's recipe. But so many people have asked for it, I had to put it up here. It is quite tasty.
