Baked Cake Doughnuts

Well....I did it, I finally made doughnuts. I don't like calling them donuts. I saw the heart shaped doughnut pan and was sold. They were actually quite easy and bake very quickly. They are a cake doughnut, so they are denser than a fried glazed doughnut, but still airy and sweet. The recipe calls for buttermilk, but I didn't have any on hand. Google told me I could make a buttermilk substitute, and with a 5 star rating, I was all in. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup. Add enough milk to bring the mixture to the 1 cup line. Let set for 5 minutes. That's it! Use what you need for your recipe!

Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

As most of you know by now, the Find Some Love Fest is just around the corner! I have several recipes to share (because nothing says love like sitting around and stuffing your face with your Valentine) over the next few days.

 These are a super simple cookie that comes out with the chewy consistency of a brownie. I took most of them to work (read: after I ate 3 4) because I could NOT stop going back for more! I used a variety of sprinkles, but if you aren't a fan of sprinkles, you can totally omit them. I really enjoyed how fun some of the sprinkles looked after baking.
