This Chocolate Cookies recipe with 4 simple ingredients will cure your chocolate craving in nothing flat! 
Super Simple Chocolate Cool Whip Cookies 3 Ingredients www.dineanddish.net

Friends, I have to apologize. My brain just isn’t really in cooking mode this summer. No cooking mode = no blogging mode = I’m really slacking on just about everything around this space lately!

Plus I’m on Weight Watchers and cooking = temptation = eating more than I should. It’s hard to be a food blogger and be on Weight Watchers at the same time! I’m better off just not cooking. And not leaving my house, ever, for that matter. I get too tempted in uncontrolled settings. So that’s it… I’m just going to become a non-blogging, non-cooking hermit so I can stay within my Points range each day, ok?

Super Simple Cool Whip Cookies 3 ingredient www.dineanddish.net

I did finish my 6 mile half marathon training run yesterday, so I had 6 extra Activity Points by 9am. And heaven help me if I was going to let those hard earned Points go to waste! Naturally, the best solution was to make cookies. I was too tired from my run to do anything that required much effort so I made Cool Whip Cookies. I had an extra tub of Cool Whip in my fridge from my Wendy’s Copycat Frosty making day and always have a box or two of cake mix on hand. It was the perfect solution!

I’ve seen this recipe for Cool Whip Cookies around the web for so many years now… I’m not sure where the origination was, but I should probably bow down and thank whomever it was because these are the tastiest cookies, ever. Especially for the ease.  It’s so versatile too! From plain vanilla Cool Whip cookies, like Cookies & Cups made to the Lemon Burst cookies from TidyMom, it’s pretty neat to see what deliciousness 3 ingredients can turn into when combined. Well, and Yummy Healthy Easy says her Strawberry version is practically guilt-free… I’m going to go ahead and say her word is gospel, because I may have had more than one 😉

I’m going to give you the recipe, grab another one of these chocolate cookies, and head back outside and enjoy summer! I hope you are doing the same!

      I used a small melon baller, made dropping the batter into powdered sugar much easier. Roll it into a ball, makes about 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

    I’m right there with you in lacking motivation for cooking/baking this summer. I just want to hang out with my kids and do Summer Bucket List stuff. Actually, baking cookies is one of the bucket list items, and I believe these cookies couldn’t get any easier and kid proof! Keep up the good work with WW, you are doing awesome!! 🙂

      I know it would work with the sugar free cake mix and lite Cool Whip. Yummy Healthy Easy blog did some strawberry ones with the lite version and sugar free, but she also added an extra egg.

    Kristen,

    Wow…you go girl! I’m so proud of your half marathon training. One day I hope to get back to that. Last October I got up to 10 miles as my longest run. 🙂 But the timing was not right within my family to continue at the time. Right now I’m happy to get out and walk 1 to 1 1/2 miles and run 1 mile a day for a total of 2 to 2 1/2 miles total. It’s really invigorating, and helps me to combat the weight while on vacation.

    Now I’m back and trying to clean up my eating and drop a few pounds. I only put on 2-3 on vacation…good thing I was running and walking. Once I lose those…I’ll be back at goal.

    Enjoy your kids and your summer!! It’s precious time that’s for sure. 😉

    I can get on board with these. Simple & they look delish. I’m feeling the pain in your words when it comes to not being able to get in the kitchen without the worry. Maybe if you pass it all to the kids before you get some – but that doesn’t help during the photo process which always results in some sampling of the parts that were in the shot. Because once they have been touched & played with they certainly can’t go in the container with the rest- they just have to be eaten right?!! 🙂

    I got this recipe through my WW meeting years ago. When you say batter is sticky, you aren’t kidding. Just couldn’t get the cookies right. Might give it another try. If you have any suggestions on how to handle the extra sticky batter, I’m all ears. Also, congrats on training for a half marathon.

    […] Cool Whip Cookies: I found a recipe floating around Facebook and then I did a little google search. Basically, you take any flavor cake mix you want, add an eight ounce container of thawed Cool Whip, and an egg. You mix it and get a nice cookie dough. You drop balls of dough into powdered sugar and throw them in a pre-heated 350 F degree oven. Then you let them cool and eat up. I made two versions- one using devil’s food cake mix (they taste like Archway Dutch Chocolate Cookies) and the other using white cake mix with lemon and lime zest (they remind me of those evil Lofthouse cookies that I love). I also chose not to throw the dough into powdered sugar. I just sprinkled a little on top before I baked. The results are delicious and since I used fat free Cool Whip, we are talking really light cookies. […]

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Have you ever dreamed of being a writer? 2 of the business coaching clients I’m currently working with have dreams of being a published fiction book author and cookbook author. Each week we’ve been chipping away at their big goals, making these dreams of theirs more and more of a reality. And each week I have this little nudging feeling inside that reminds me that writing a book was once a dream of mine...and I’ve gotten so far away from that dream. I barely even write anymore. Heck - writing an instagram caption is even a challenge. As someone who used to be a really good writer, that’s so frustrating to me. Where’d my voice go?
.

William Morrow Publishers recently sent me the book Make Me Rain: Poems and Prose by the incredibly gifted writer Nikki Giovanni. This book is full of poems and prose relevant to todays world. I imagined Giovanni walking around observing life, with a notebook tucked under her arm everywhere she went, and writing. Just pulling out the notebook and writing. I used to be that way and this beautiful book makes me want to write again.

Are you a writer? Do you journal, write poetry, write for fun, or are you working on a book? What does your writing practice look like? I think the biggest key for me is to just get back to it. Dedicate a time each day and at the very least just write - about life, observations, and more. Writer friends or journaling experts ...I’d love to hear what your writing practice looks like. Tips, tricks, ideas to help get what’s inside out on paper.

Pumpkin Pancakes! Do you top them with syrup or powdered sugar? Or something else completely?

I first shared this copycat IHOP pumpkin pancake recipe on the blog in 2008 and we’ve been making them all the time ever since. I finally got up the gumption to take some new pictures - it was a blue moon this weekend after all , which is about how often I get that update old pictures motivation 😂 Link to the recipe is in my profile. Enjoy it while pumpkin season is still in full on mode.
