Sinful Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Melt caramels with 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Mix together cake mix, butter, and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Spread 1/2 of the cake mixture in greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Sprinkle nuts and chocolate chips over baked cake. Drizzle caramel over nuts and chocolate chips. Crumble and pat on the remaining cake mixture and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and while hot, cut into into 18 - 24 pieces. Delicious served warm. Let cool completely before storing in covered container.

Steps:

• Line a 9 x 13 pan with aluminum foil.
• (This speeds the clean up.).
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Place saltine crackers in pan in rows.
• I usually can fit about 24 in the pan.
• In a saucepan, bring the butter and sugar to a boil.
• After it begins boiling, boil for 3 minutes.
• Immediately pour the butter-sugar mixture on the crackers.
• Bake in the oven for 7 minutes.
• Take out of the oven, pour chocolate chips over crackers, and smooth them out after they melt.
• Cool in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
• Cut into squares.

Steps:

• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Beat in the egg.
• Beat in the vanilla extract.
• Beat in the cake mix.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls.I've chilled batter overnight and it comes out fine.
• After batter has chilled and you're ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 minutes. The cookies should remain soft and gooey.
• Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
• To make these devilishly rich, I also top the cookies with cream cheese frosting, which is simple to make. I use Bev's Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe #55530), but double the vanilla. Or, if I'm making them for people I know have more of a savory tooth than sweet, I'll triple it to a full tablespoon.
