For Sabres game night and MLB opening night, I made 2 treats – lemon frosted lemon brownies wuth crushed lemon oreos…and these lemon cookies with crushed lemon oreos and lemon frosted I am a huge fan of adding crushed cookies to cookie dough…. so when I saw these lemon oreos, I bought them and knew I could add them to a lemon cookies recipe.
I used a mix of cake flour and all purpose flour in these, but you can use entirely all purpose flour if you want.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Chill the dough a few hours before baking. And, preheat your oven before baking
Ingredients list
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
1 egg yolk
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp lemon extract
2 tbs lemon juice (I used bottled)
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 tbs cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
16 lemon oreos, finely crushed
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add egg, yolk, extract and lemon juice. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in crushed oreos. If dough seems a little dry, add a tbs or 2 of water. Evenly divide dough into 10 tall mounds.
Chill a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes, no longer. Cool completely.
If you want, you can frost these. Store in covered container.
Frosting ingredients list
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs lemon juice
Combine these ingredients in a bowl. If frosting seems too thick, you could add a tsp or 2 of water. Frost cookies.
Triple chip cookies, starring brown butter and semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. I didn’t chill these as long as I usually do, so they are a little flatter than i prefer. But rob said they are good, so that works for me!
I used a combo of bread and all purpose flour for these. You can use entire all purpose flour, but either way, remember to scoop it from the flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.
Chill the scooped out dough for a few hours and preheat the oven before baking.

I found this box of hot cocoa instant oatmeal while trapsing through price rite and thought “how magical this would be to make cookies with.”
So i opted for oatmeal sandwich cookies with special dark cocoa marshmallow fluff filling.
And these celebrate another Sabres victory. This season has been so amazing and unexpected to this point. For me it feels like the 2020 nfl season for the Bills. And what a rush that was.

This is what happens when you forget to set the timer and have to keep checking the bottoms of the cookies with a spatula
I had a bag of mallo cups and wanted to use them up, so I thought of making a s’mores related treat.
I also have seen some articles that suggest using toasted sugar in cookie recipes, so I thought i would use the mallo cups stuffed in milk chocolate chip cookies made with toasted sugar and some finely ground graham crackers.
Stuffed with mallo cups
First about toasting the sugar- you don’t have to.. but if you want to – place the cup of sugar on a cookie sheet and spread to a relatively thin layer. Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees) for 15 minutes, or so, stirring every so often, until sugar is a light golden, like below.
I also used a combo of all purpose flour and bread flour. Bread flour makes cookies a little more chewy. You can use just all purpose flour entirely.
These are stuffed with Reese’s pb hearts (the mini chips are the marker)
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I recommend chilling the dough a few hours before baking. And, preheat the oven before baking.

I wanted to bake to celebrate the US men’s hockey team gold medal game victory, but there is also a super winter storm coming and I am staying at the Doubletree hotel near work tonight, and time is of the essence. Rob asked for doubletree cookies. I found the recipe put out by doubletree and tweaked it. Another higher level treat will be made at a later date for our US hockey men. Hoping we don’t lose power so the treat can be made later this week!!!
The game was stressful. So much play was in our end. When Jack’s game winner went in, I couldn’t believe it! And it was so wonderful to see the late Johnny Gaudreau honored and that 2 of his kids were on the ice for the team picture.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Chill the scooped out dough a few hours. And, preheat your oven before baking.

In honor of the US women’s Olympic hockey team winning the gold medal and our men’s team taking on Canada for gold Sunday, I really wanted to step up my dessert game. I saw Costco has this new chocolate chip cookie bar cake – a chocolate cake layer, creamy filling with pieces of edible cookie dough, chocolate chip cookie cake, topped with a thin layer of chocolate frosting. I think next time, I would put the cookie cake layer on the bottom (because it is kind of heavy) or make a yellow layer and add chocolate chips to it. It took a while to make, but the weather is not great, so why not try this?
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. Same goes for your powdered sugar and baking cocoa. And, preheat your oven before baking.
Before you start this process, take out 4 and 1/2 sticks of butter and set aside, so they soften.
Also take out 3/4 cup ice cream and put in a cup before baking, in the fridge, so it melts.
I used chocolate chip cookie dough
