Cookie Cake Inspiration

Hooray!  After being under the weather for almost 5 days, I'm happy to be feeling good enough to do some baking.  Tomorrow evening we're having a "small" gathering...and by "small" I mean 90 RSVPs...to celebrate one of our co-workers who is leaving our company after 28 years.  So I am making yummy mini bites for said gathering :) 

On the agenda:
Mini Chocolate Chunk cookies
Mini Yellow Cookie Cakes with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Buttercream
Mini Devils Food Cookie Cakes with Almond Buttercream

The chocolate chunk cookies are my go-to cookies & have made them many times...still super yummy though...this recipe does not disappoint!

Have you ever made cake mix cookies? They are not quite a cookie & not quite a cake...here's the idea I followed, only I used a yellow cake mix & no chocolate.  Then, I made the pumpkin buttercream using this recipe as a base, but I used 1/2 butter & 1/2 cream cheese...I had to use alot more sugar than called for since I added the cream cheese, just add it until it looks "right" :)

After making the chocolate minis, I simply cannot decide which ones I like best...the chocolate may just be slightly better thanks to the Almond Buttercream :)  Yummo!

Here's hoping everyone at the party enjoys my mini yummies!
