Ingredients

▢ 1 can crushed pineapples (Do not drain)
▢ 1 can Cherry Pie filling
▢ 1 box yellow cake mix
▢ 1 stick of butter
▢ 1 cup chopped pecans

Toppings
▢ Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray or use slow cooker liner. (You’ll layer the next items, remember not to mix).
2. Pour crushed pineapples & cherry filling and spread.
3. Top with yellow cake mix and spread.
4. Top with butter slices, then sprinkle the pecans on top.
5. Cook on high for 3 hours.

When ready, Serve with ice cream on top.

Ingredients

▢ 1/2 cup softened butter
▢ 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
▢ 3/4 cup brown sugar
▢ 3/4 cup granulated sugar
▢ 2 eggs
▢ 2 1/2 cups flour
▢ 2 tsp baking soda
▢ 1/2 tsp baking powder
▢ 1 tsp salt
▢ 1 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening.
3. Add in sugars and eggs and mix once more.
4. Add in 1/2 the flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
5. Add in remaining flour and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Making the tiny cookies. You need only 1/2 teaspoon of dough for each cookie. The first is to spray a 1 tsp measuring spoon with non-stick spray and scoop out dough, then divide it in half. This actually works pretty well, you’ll just have to re-spray the spoon after 4 or 5 scoops. The second way is to scoop out dough using a regular 1.5 TBSP cookie scoop. (I use this cookie scoop here) Then divide that scoop of dough in half, then divide those 2 halves in half (so now you have 4 mounds of dough). Now divide all those dough mounds in half- you’ll end up with 8 pieces of dough.
7. Roll mini dough into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
8. Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack.
9. Recipe yields 85-90 mini cookies (when you use 1/2 tsp of dough).
