Fri - Crock pot chicken & potatoes, steamed cabbage

I am also going to bake some cookies with Lindsay (hopefully tonight). Here's the recipe that we are going to give a try:

Stamped by Design Cookies

1 pkg. chocolate or white cake mix
2 eggs
1/4 c. vegetable oil
sugar

Icing:

2 c. confectioners sugar
2 to 3 Tbsp. milk
food coloring

In large bowl, beat cake mix, eggs, and oil. Roll into 1 in. balls.; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheet. Flatten with glass dipped in sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 min. Lightly press a 1 1/2 in. cookie cutter onto cookies, making a slight indentation. Remove to wire racks to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk confectioners sugar and milk to achieve drizzling consistency. Tint w/ food coloring if desired. Place icing in a small, heavy duty plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Carefully pipe icing into indentation.
