Monster Eye Cookies for Halloween- with yoyomax12

These fun and delicious cake-like cookies are made using a cake mix! They are moist and soft and taste great (with just a hint of cream cheese flavour). Don't over bake and they will be nice and moist. They are best eaten the same or next day.

Found the monster eye idea here:
I have used this recipe before in a video, kind of a fun video, it is in reverse!:
Spider cupcake video:

Makes about 2 dozen cookies
1/2 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese (slightly softened)
1 egg
1 package yellow cake mix (unprepared) or any cake mix flavour (lighter is better if you want to ting them green). Cake mix is a large one that will make 2 doz cupcakes or a 9x13" cake
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 to 1/4 cup milk or water (add just enough to make a nice smooth batter that isn't too dry)
food colouring
candy eyes

Combine all ingredients except for milk.
Blend well with an electric mixer until crumbly and then add milk until dough is sticky and holds together (I used just under an eigth cup)
Drop by tbsp (or use a cookie scoop) on greased cookie sheets.
bake at 350 for 10-12 minute.
Color should only change very during baking, easy to over bake. Bake until center feel set and cookie have crackled on the surface.

Remove cookies from oven and immediately press in a candy eye into the cookie.
Allow to cool completely and store in a container at room temperature.

I love that you make recipes and try it and give your honest opinion, instead of just praising your creation. You suggest what need to be improved.
Thank you.

Hello Erin from Scotland, I'm happy you took the time to comment! I won't have time for Halloween whoopie pies as my Halloween vids are done well in advance, but I will consider them for Christmas for sure

[yoyomax]

Glad you enjoyed the cookies! I also like the way these taste :) Thanks for letting me know you tried them :)

[hanacrader]

I really love watching your videos because, you usually make your own cake mix and if you don't, you always add a personal touch to the cake mixes! I really love your channel! Keep up the good work!

[yoyomax]

You know after all the years I have been using it, I still feel that way when I hear it :)

You know you've watched too many yoyomax12 videos in a row when you unconsciously speak with Ms. Tammy's accent! XD I always get excited when I see you've uploaded a new video. :] Thanks for making me smile.

[HotChocolateHitsOfficial]

Those are SO cool! I liked the returning happy cream cheese :) If you add pistachio pudding, would it give a similar green?

[rachelsimplyshell]
