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.

Today’s treat frosted brownie cookies… so simple because they use a brownie mix and a few other ingredients.

Usually, on Fridays during football season, I bring in a Friday football treat. But this post contains just a Friday treat because football and I are taking a break.
I did have something cool happen today though and it was football related. Our midday show had Damar Hamlin on as a guest and I told one of our hosts, Joe, to tell Damar I love him. He did and Damar replied “shout out to Christine.” Made my day.

Another big matchup for my Bills Sunday – at Detroit. Should be a great one!
Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from their respective containers into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I also recommend freezing the individual stuffed doughs for a half hour to keep them from spreading. Also, don’t bake any longer than 10 minutes.

1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla
Hershey kisses or other candy

Directions – in a bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, flour and baking cocoa. Stir in egg, butter and water. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and form around each kiss. (You will need more dough to cover oreo). Freeze individual doughs for 30 minutes, at least. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies on sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, no longer. Immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool completely. Store in covered container.

A simple, easy treat for nfl week 6 – little Debbie brownie cookies, frosted, with rainbow chips on top. These are made with a brownie mix and a few extra ingredients. They might not need frosting, but I think everything is better with frosting! I don’t recommend baking these longer than 10 minutes. They seem undone on top, but pop them in the fridge to firm them up before frosting them and keep them in the fridge for a few hours. Better a gushy cookie than a dry, overbaked one, right?
