Crackcakes

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Rena Anne

To say that I’m “addicted” to chocolate chip cookies is an understatement. When it comes to the evil dessert, I have absolutely NO self-control and could eat until I am sick.

This past week, we went camping and I made chocolate chip cookies to use with s’mores instead of graham crackers (I really need to be put in rehab).

With all of the moving around during camping, the cookies got pretty smushed, resulting in lots of delicious cookie crumbles.

So, I got the bright idea to make chocolate chip cookie pancakes, which I am now deeming “Crackcakes”.

I used Krusteaz pancake mix (found at your local grocery store or Costco) and mixed per the instructions.

Quickly after pouring the mix onto the griddle, I added some crumbles to the top and let it cook. Then I flipped the pancakes over and let the chocolate chips get all melty.

The end result is the yummiest, softest “cookie” you’ll every have. Good luck only eating one.

(I ate six. True story.)
