I saw the super XL size of Reese’s eggs at BJ’s and felt I HAD to buy them. I think because they’re the world’s best candy. I know Reese’s has the classic cup, and all the holiday shaped versions, but the eggs are the beat.
This recipe is super easy. The cookies, though, come out huge!
Ingredients list
1 pkg chocolate chip cookie mix
1 peanut butter cookie mix
3 eggs
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups M&Ms
1 1/2 cups quick cook oats (not prepared)
Reese’s eggs!!
Direction – preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine cookie mixes. Blend in butter and eggs. Fold in oats, then M&Ms. Scoop out 4 tbs dough and form around Reese’s eggs. Stagger on prepared sheets. Bake 12 to 13 minutes, no longer. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
I was a little short on time tonight, so I made mini M&M chocolate chip cookies, using crisco and butter crisco. By using crisco instead of butter, I did not need to chill the dough to keep them puffy.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.
Ingredients
1/2 cup crisco
1/2 cup butter crisco
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tbs water
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini m&ms
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream crisco, butter crisco, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, water and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips and m&ms. Scoop out 3 tbs of dough and form tall cylinders. Stagger on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 11 minutes. Bottoms will be golden. Cookies will be a little undone on top, but will firm up as they cool. Store in covered container.
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to be kind because everyone is fighting some sort of battle. Go Bills!
We wound up giving out our Halloweeen candy this week and had none leftover.. luckily, friends and work hand soem leftover, so I swiped the m&ms and made cookies with them on a football friday. They are very flat and very soft. I am not happy they came out that way, but my work friends seem to enjoy them.
A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also chill the individual doughs for a few hours to avoid too much spreading. And preheat the oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.
Ingredients list
1 1/2 cups butter flavor crisco
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 tbs milk
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tbs cornstarch
2 cups m&ms
Directions – in a bowl, cream criaco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Add eggs. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in m&ms. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes so it cycles to the right amount. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies – a row of 2, a row of one, another row of two, another row of one. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely. Mine were quite gushy, so I chilled them in the fridge to firm them up. Store in covered container.
I noticed a couple of boxes of Reese’s Pieces in my baking cabinet, so I decided to put them in some large chocolate cookies. These only make 8, so I cut them in half and put some melted chocolate chips on a few halves. Not sure why. Also not sure why I thought it was a good idea to turn on the oven and bake when it is hot and disgustingly humid. Anyways, we celebrate the home run derby with these tomorrow at work.
A few tips : Scoop your flour and baking cocoa from your containers into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. Chill your mounds of dough at least a couple of hours to prevent too much spreading. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.
Ingredients
8 tbs butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1 egg
1 yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbs cornstarch
1 1/2 cups Reese’s pieces
Directions – combine melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and baking cocoa. Add vanilla, egg, and yolk. Blend in flour, cornstarch and baking soda. Dough will be very soft. Fold in Reese’s pieces. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours on fridge. Preheat ovento 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I put 4 on a sheet at a time bc they are 1/4 cups of dough each. Bake 12 minutes (no longer). Cool completely. Store in covered container.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please remember to be kind. We all need a little kindness.
I went simple for this treat, for my friend Jerry’s birthday and Football Friday #2 of the season. They are cake mix cookies, with chocolate frosting the topped with crushed heath Bars. You can use any cake mix flavor and candy!
Ingredients
2 chocolate cake mixes
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
4 tbs water
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. blend ingredients together. You may want to add an extra tbs or 2 of water, if you feel the dough is too dry. Line a baking sheet with nonstick baking liners. Scoop out 3 tbs of dough and form mounds. Stagger on prepared sheets. Bake 10 minutes. Cool completely.
I ran out of chocolate frosting, so I whipped up vanilla frosting for 5 cookies!
Frosting ingredients
2 tbs butter, melted
2 tbs baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs milk
Finely crushed heath bars (I used a food processor for this. You could also put them in a large plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.)
Directions – combine butter, vanilla and cocoa. Blend in powdered sugar. Add milk. Frost cookies and top with crushed heath Bars (or other candy)
I get to be normal for a second straight sunday because the Bills don’t play until Monday night! I tease Rob that my Bills Fandom is the “sickness” part of the “in sickness and health” of the wedding vows. Go Bills!
Someone left a whole bag of extra Halloween candy in our green room at work, so I took it. And I used the peanut butter cups to stuff in chocolate cookies. I have to figure out what to do with the heath bars and whoppers.
Our oven is on it’s way out, but it’s under warranty, so we are getting a new one for free. I ordered it,so I hope our current oven lasts until the new one is delivered. Baking has been an adventure the last 2 plus months!
Remember to spoon your flour and baking cocoa from your container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I like to chill the individually stuffed cookies for at least a few hours. Also, preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking so it gets to the right temperature.
Ingredients
5 tbs Crisco
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups chocolate chips, melted
1 cup flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp baking powder

Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies on the sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
Oreo is another stuffed cookie option
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with love, happiness and peace.
Stuffed cake mix cookies (you can see the brownie peaking through)
These are a super easy treat, guaranteed to wow anyone! I used brownies to stuff these cookies. And I cut them in 2 inch squares. You can also use Oreos, mini candy bars, etc. I used a white cake mix, but feel free to mix it up. These cookies can be made in no time!
Ingredients
1 cake mix, any flavor
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
2 to 4 tbs water
Oreos, cut up brownies, mini candy bars etc
These are magical! The brownie is peaking through!
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. In a bowl, combine cake mix, egg, oil and enough water so the dough comes together and you can work with it. Scoop out 1 1/2 tbs dough, slightly flatten. Place an oreo/brownie Square, mini candy on top. Scoop out another 1 1/2 tbs dough, slightly flatten. Place on top of oreo/brownie Square, mini candy etc. Mould dough around it. Scatter on a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper. Bake 10 minutes. They will seem undercooked, but should be light golden on the bottom. Cool completley.
You may want to schedule an extra workout session, run or walk before eating one of THESE chocolate chip cookies to burn off the extra calories. To say they are large is an understatement! Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies, so instead of having two or 3, just have one of these and call it a day! These use a mix of cake flour and all purpose flour. If you don’t have cake flour, you can make it by sifting 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour with 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch. Also, I was in a rush and only had cold butter to work with, so I used a cheese grater to shred it so I could work with it quickly.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, cold, grated with a cheese grater
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 yolks
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – cream grated cold butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs and yolks. Fold in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. Divide dough evenly into thirds. Then divide each third in half. Then, divide each remaining dough pieces in half. There are your 12 cookies., pile dough into mounds. Chill at least a few hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees fpr 20 minutes. On a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners, bake 10 to 12 minutes. There will be light golden spots on top. Cool on sheets completely. Do not be like my husband and grab one while it is still hot. 😳 store in covered container.
Happy Valentine’s day! This is a heart shaped fudgy brownie topped with milk chocolate ganache. I know, my decorating skills are not good, but I tried. 😁
This recipe is super simple. You can add cut up candy in the batter or in top,of the ganache or frostinf if you want as well. If ganache (which honestly, is just a fancy word for melted chocolate with heavy cream), is not your thing, you can leave the brownies plain, sprinkle with powdered sugar or use whatever frosting you want. I used one my two heart shaped cake pans, but you can them in an 8 or 9 inch Square cake pan. Remember to spoon your flour from your flour container into your measuring cup to get the correct amount. Also preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking, to get your oven to the right temperature.
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup baking cocoa
3 eggs
2 tsp chocolate or vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a baking pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray. Combine butter and sugar. Add cocoa. Blend in eggs, beating one at a time. Mix in extract. Fold in flour and salt. Blend in chips. Spread into pan. Mixture will be thick. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted,in center comes out with a few crumbs. Cool completley.
Ganache ingedients
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
Directions – heat cream in a microwave safe bowl for 45 seconds. Pour over chips. Let sit 5 minutes. Stir smooth. Pour over brownies. let ganache set. Store in covered container.
