Crushed oreo cookies with peanut butter, semisweet or white chocolate chips

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I had a bag of oreos and thought those need to be crushed and baked in a chocolate cookie.   I made the dough, divided it into thirds.  In one third, I added peanut butter chips, I added white chips to another third and semisweet chips to the final third.   I made 15 cookies total, 5 from each third of dough. 

Remember to scoop your flour, powdered sugar and baking cocoa from your measuring cups so you get the right amounts.  Chill the individual doughs a few hours before baking.  And  preheat your oven before baking.

Ingredients list

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup crisco

1/4 cup plus 2 tbs sugar

4 1/2 tbs brown sugar, firmly packed into tablespoons

1/4 cup plus 2 tbs powdered sugar

1 1/2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 /3 cup plus 3 tbs vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups and 1 1/2 tbs flour

4 1/2 tbs cornstarch

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 plus 1/8 tsp cream of tartar

32 oreos, finely ground

1 cup peanut butter chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions – cream butter, crisco, sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar.  Add oil, egg and vanilla.  Mix in dry ingredients.   Fold in oreos.   Divide dough into thirds.  Add peanut butter chips to 1/3 dough, white chips to 1/3 of dough, and semisweet chips to the other third.  Chill individuals doughs for a few hours

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 9 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  

Store in covered container.

Crushed oreo cookies stuffed with Reese’s eggs

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I know it is June 1st, but I still have a boatload of Reese eggs (that’s what I get for buying the big bag from BJ’s). 

They are good for a while, but thought i would use some up by stuffing them in crushed oreo chocolate cookies.

  I left a few plain without the Reese’s eggs and covered them in m&ms, for the non peanut butter lovers at work.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   I recommend chilling the individual doughs for at least a few hours.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 1/2 cups crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 20 oreos, finely crushed in a food processor
  • Reese’s eggs, removed from wrapper

Directions- in a bowl,  cream crisco, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix in dry ingredients then blend in oreos.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and divide in half.  Slightly flatten each half.   Place one half on countertop.

Tops with a Reese egg.

Top with other flattened half

Seal edges so you can’t see Reese egg.

Chill a few hours or overnight.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I present a chocolate chip cookie, but with 3 kinds of chocolate chips – semisweet, milk and white.  These are one of Rob’s favorites, so I am asked to make them quite a bit.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend freezing the individual doughs for about an hour or chilling them for a few hours before baking.  And, preheat your oven before baking. 

These are a good size cookie, so I baked them at a higher temp – 390 degrees, but only for 9 or 10 minutes.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed Brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream crisco, sugar and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs, water,  and vanilla.  Blendnin dry ingredients. Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. 

Freeze for an hour or chill in fridge for a few hours.  Preheat oven to 390 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on the prepared sheet. 

Bake 9 to 10 min, no longer.  (there will be golden patches on top, bottoms will be browned).  They may seem gushy,  but they will firm up.  You can also pop them in the fridge to firm them up as well.  Cool completely.  

Store in covered container.
