The brownies before baking.
The Red Velvet Batter
Pouring into the pans. I did use a mix for the cake but I am making my own cream cheese icing.
Licking up the evidence.
Brownies are done! Ethan was so anxious for them to be done that when they had about 5 minutes left he told me to go to the oven and push the button. I am flattered that my son thinks I possess that kind of power, that I can miraculously just make brownies done by pushing a button. I explained to him that they would be done when the time was up and that me pushing buttons would not make it any faster. Silly kid.
There was no cooling that was going to happen. I had some very impatient customers.
When I asked Ethan to smile, he told me he was eating. Then he quickly shoved another bite in his mouth.
A mouth full of brownie and a truck, is there anything better?
Got Milk?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. 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 will remain soft and “gooey.” Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
