Some of my very favorite recipes come into my life via friends. These Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of them, courtesy of my neighbor Mickie. She brought them to a pot luck and forever changed my cookie experience and when she told me what made these little works of art so especially delicious I couldn’t believe it!!!!

You will NOT believe what is in these cookies OR how amazing they taste! You'll have your guests dying to know your secret in this chocolate chip cookie recipe as they steal just one more off the plate. Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies. SunshineandHurricanes.com

As if the taste alone weren’t enough to win my heart, I then learned there were only FIVE(!) ingredients required to make the magic happen, hurrah! As busy mamas, simple is our friend.  These work so well for any kind of get together and I always know I can pull them together quickly.

Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Okay, so the basic ingredients include a boxed cake mix, pudding, chocolate chips and pecans. If you’re not a nut person you can leave them out, but you’d be surprised how many people tell me they don’t like nuts in their cookies, but love them in these. As for the pudding, I really prefer Butterscotch, but I had the vanilla on hand so I went with that! Either way, they’re still divine!

Okay, ready for the secret ingredient? Here ya’ go:

Mayonnaise….seriously! Don’t make that face, trust me, there is no mayo taste when you’re throwing down these cookies. You won’t believe how quickly people keep swiping another and another. They are THAT good and no one needs to know the secret unless you tell them. 😉 I promise I won’t give you away.

Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies. NO ONE will believe what is in these cookies. They taste so good, you'll watch them disappear in seconds.

    Do you know what’s funny? I totally made a face when I read “mayonnaise”, and then I read “Don’t make a face!” How did you know I’d do that 😉 Seriously- I have to try this though.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
