If you’re looking for easy Mexican dessert recipes, look no further. Mexican Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies are so yummy and takes cake boxes to an entirely new delicious level.
I get it all the time. “Maggie, what are you cooking tonight?” Truth be told… Sometimes, I like to pop in a frozen pizza and veg in front of a good Netflix series. With the holidays and holiday potlucks, everyone expects me to bring over something that will blow their culinary minds. I can almost see the disappointment on their faces when I show up with a bottle of wine. I was at the grocery store the other day and was thinking what easy Mexican dessert recipes I knew. This is the first one I thought of: Mexican Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I’m using apple sauce to make it a little healthier. That way, I won’t feel guilty about eating two cookies. 😀 Don’t want to be healthy? Use butter.
I’m a busy mom. My redhead has more energy than a supernova. KABOOM! Just yesterday, he had two school functions, then basketball practice, and then we visited his friend’s house to pick up his Xbox controller. Take the shortcuts where you can. This is an easy Mexican dessert, not a slave over the stove for hours recipe. When you jazz up a cake box dessert, no one will know that you were a sneaky baker. Us, busy moms, have to stick together. 😀 Happy Baking!

Smart to have a quick cookie recipe handy! I’d love to enter the giveaway. Every time I run into WF for a few items I drop a $100. I love their meat and fish and they are one if the few places I can find bone marrow bones. And a favorite new find is the Good Belly fermented coconut water. Yum!
Bone marrow is one of my favorites guilty pleasures. My son likes it too. Shhhh! No one tell him what it is!!
I love Whole Foods because they sell so many specialty foods I can’t find anywhere else. When I win I’m going to treat myself to something from their sushi bar, buy some young coconuts and vitamins! I also follow you on Instagram AND the contest ends on December 13th, my birthday so I’m feeling lucky!
I love their sushi bar too. Happy Birthday!

I would buy cheese — lots of it!
We were just at Whole Foods yesterday. We bought milk, cereal, and cookies from the baked goods display (you know… the basics). And of course I follow on Instagram!
I would buy Gluten-Free and Allergen-Free Items for my kids! They have multiple food allergies and most of the items I need to bake them are only at Whole Foods!
They have a great gluten-free selection.
I bought yummy macaroons last time as was at Whole Foods. Next time I would pick up some fresh produce and try out some of their prepared salads. Following on Instagram too of course 🙂
I would buy ingredients to make some lactation cookies! I hear they sell brewer’s yeast. I’d follow you on Instagram, if I had an account 😉
I haven’t been to Whole Foods in awhile. I’d look at their wine and cheese for our holiday dinner. We’re having lots of people over and I need to stretch the meal!
They have a great wine and cheese selection for the holidays.
I follow you on Instagram!
I’d but stuff to make tamales. Chicken with salsa verde and pork salsa Roja. Now I’m really craving them! Thanks for the chance to win!
YUM! Will try these tonight. Look AMAZING!!
Hope you do. They’re so easy to make. Gotta love that!
