So Sweet Sunday #5

Is it already time for our next link party? This week has simply flown by! It hasn't been a great week for baking or crafting around here. It feels like everything I touch lately turns into a disaster. I suppose we all have those days, but they're certainly frustrating, nonetheless. There is one little treat I made the other night that did come out quite good. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures, but I do have the recipe to pass along!

Cake Mix Biscotti

1 box white cake mix
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 to 1 cup Nutella


  1. 1. Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). In large bowl, mix cake mix, oil and eggs with spoon until dough forms (some dry mix will remain). Stir in the add-ins of your choosing (I didn't add mix-ins this time around).
  2. 2. On a lightly greased cookie sheet, shape dough into 15x4-inch rectangle, using greased hands. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet on cooling rack for 15 minutes.3
  3. 3. Cut rectangle crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer or until edges are deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.4
  4. 4. In a small heat-proof bowl, microwave Nutella 30 seconds; stir. Dip one end of each biscotti into the chocolate, place on a lined cookie sheet or place, and chill until chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
Tip: We keep our container of cookies in the fridge so that the Nutella remains firm. 



I hope you all will love these soft, chewy, and delicious cookies as much as we do! Now on to the party and all of your wonderful creations! Remember the rules:


  1. Become a follower of my blog, if you haven't done so already.
  2. Link directly to a specific post and not just to your blog's homepage.
  3. Visit at least one other link from the party and leave some comment love for that person. (Come on! We all love a nice comment!)
  4. Grab my new, pretty button and put it somewhere on your blog where others can easily find it and join in on the fun!

  3. I added a rice dish because of its subtle sweet flavor. I hope that it is all right that it is not a baked dessert.

  5. I love recipes that use cake mixes in new ways. Biscotti is always fun to make. I didn't realize the Nutella would harden up when melted like that. Will have to give it a try.

  6. Thanks for linking up, ladies! I never remove anything that is shared, so now worries! I'm just glad you all want to share at my party, at all! ;)

    Suzy--The Nutella didn't really ever harden up. Putting it in the fridge did help, which is why I ended up keeping the cookies in there. I didn't think about the whole aspect of Nutella staying soft until after I had already dipped everything... hehe. They are still yummy, but next time I would probably just use melted chocolate chips. :)
