An Oreo stuffed inside a chocolate chip sugar cookie
I have an abundance of Oreos so in an attempt to use them up, I decided to stuff them inside a chocolate chip sugar cookie. I used a Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and added some chocolate chips. Then I stuffed an Oreo inside. And as soon as I took them out of the oven, I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. Feel free to use any cookie recipe (or mix).
Ingredients
1 sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tbs water
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips
Oreos
Cookie monster at it again!
Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes. In a bowl, combine cookie mix, butter, water and egg. Mix well. Add chips. Scoop out 3 tbs of dough. Evenly form around an Oreo. Stagger on a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners. Bake 10 to 14 minutes, until light golden on bottom. Immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar after removing from oven. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
These are one of my many, many chocolate chip cookie recipes. Rob requests only two things – chocolate chip cookies and brownies. I don’t like making the same thing over and over, so I have a collection of various recipes for both. That way there is a little variety for me in my baking. These cookies came out a little gushier than normal because we are having issues with our oven. It is less than 4 years old. I was pleasantly surprised that we got the warranty with it. So we are getting it fixed for free. We are waiting on some parts to come in and the tech will be back to fix it.

Some tips – scoop your flour from your flour container into measuring cup. Also, preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking to allow it to cycle for the right temp.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, cold (I used a cheese shredder to shred it)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
2 cups bread flour
1 cup cake flour
1 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – cream butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Divide dough into 12 equal mounds of dough. Gently press remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips into tops of each mound. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies on prepared sheets. Bake 12 to 16 minutes, depending on how gushy you want your cookies. Cool completley. Store ina covered container. I also chilled them a little too in the fridge.
Cookie!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with peace, joy, love and happiness.
Another simple recipe that starts with a mix. The first time I had these was when I was in college (yup, an eternity ago). The recipe is from Pillsbury from all those years ago.. Just a few ingredients needed. The key with these is to make sure you do not overbake them…if you do, they’ll be dry. If you take them out too early, they may be a little gushy, but that is not a bad thing, is it ?
Ingredients

1/2 cup flour (spooned from your flour bag into your measuring cup yo get the right amount)

1 cup peanut butter chips
Direction – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper. Set aside. In a bowl, combine brownie mix and flour. Blend in eggs, oil, vanilla and water. Fold in chips. Scoop out 3 tbs dough and form into mounds. Stagger on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Tops will be just set. Cool completley. Store in covered container.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day. Remember to be kind. Everyone is fighting some sort of battle, some more difficult than others.
It seems like there is a National (insert name) day every day, doesn’t it? I remember recently seeing something about National Mutt Day (which we observe in our house really every day, because of Gracie). I saw that August 4th, 2021 is National Chocolate Chip Cookie day. I couldn’t let that go by without baking some ccc’s to bring into work (and perhaps let Rob eat one or two).
The cookie monster at it again!
Some cool facts about Chocolate Chip Cookies… 1) Ruth Wakefield “invented” them in 1930. She was making cookies for her roadside inn guests and was out of baker’s chocolate. She added broken pieces of Nestle’s chocolate. She thought they would melt, but did not.. and voila, a star cookie was born! 2) the chocolate chip cookie is America’s most popular cookie. 3) the first chocolate chip cookie was the size of a quarter (now, that’s just wrong) 4) there are 7 billion chocolate chip cookies eaten in the US every year, with only half of those being homemade (a travesty. that number should be bigger) 5) the number of cookies the average person eats in a lifetime is 35, 000. (yowsa)
Perfectly puffy!
Remember to spoon your flour from the flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount. if you pour directly into the measuring cup, you get too much flour and your cookies could be dry. once you scoop out the dough, chill it for a couple of hours to keep your cookies puffy. and, preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes so it cycles to the right temperature for baking (that tip from Stanley, our LG oven tech, to whom I am indebted)
ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cupcrisco
1 cup plus 2 tbs brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour
3 tbs cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tspbaking powder
3 cups chocolate chips
directions – cream butter, crisco, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. fold in chocolate chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill at least for a few hours. Preheat your oven for 20 minutes to 375 degrees. On a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper, stagger mounds of cookie dough. bake 12 to 15 minutes – you will see light golden patches on top. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
Celebrating the greatest cookie!

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.
A friend was coming over to visit today with her baby and dog, and I know she loves peanut butter. So I needed to make something for her to take home. Instead of cookies, I did a cookie cake on a small cookie sheet and topped it with peanut butter frosting.
Remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking So your oven cycles to the right temp. And, scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount. If you pour it directly into the cup, you pack it in and it’s over the amount you need and makes for a dry treat.
Peanut butter perfection!
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a small cookie sheet (I used a 9×13 cookie sheet) with parchment paper. In a saucepan, combine. Cook peanut butter and butter, stirring occasionally, until it is melted and comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Add sugar. Blend in egg, milk and vanilla. Fold in flour and baking soda. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs. Cool completley.
Frosting ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1 /4 cup peanut butter
2 to 4 tbs milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions – in a saucepan, cook and stir peanut butter and butter, stirring occasionally to a boil. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar then enough milk to get the consistency you want. Frost cookie cake. Store in covered container.
They’re thin, so have two!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I wish you peace, happiness and love.. And I remind you to be kind. The world needs more kindness.
Today at work, my friend Jerry if I brought in any cookies. Sadly, I had not. I am making up for it by bringing in these tomorrow. Rob and I call them the “Franks” because they are our friend Franks favorite cookies. Simply, they are a chocolate chip cookie with semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. I added some instant vanilla pudding mix because it sweetened them up a bit. I forgot to take out butter to soften, so I used Crisco.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount. (If you directly pour, you pack in the flour and don’t get a correct measurement. That can lead to dry cookies). Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. That way it cycles to the right temp.
There is nothing a good cookie can’t fix!
Ingredients
1 cup Crisco
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
1 – 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbs cornstarch
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. In a bowl, cream Crisco and brown sugar. Blend in vanilla, eggs and pudding mix. Fold in dry ingredients. Blend in chips. At this point, it may be easier to use your hands to mix it together like meatballs. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. On a sheet lined with nonstick baking liners, stagger cookies. Bake 12 minutes. There will be some light golden patches on top. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
Gracie had her eye on these!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I wish you peace, love and joy. And remember to be kind. We are all fighting some battle.
Rob, my president of taste testing, could not decide between a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate chocolate chip cookie, so I made both kinds and smooshed (or is it smushed?) them together. They are very large cookies. Oh, and I dipped the bottoms in melted Hershey kisses just because that makes them even more magical. You’re welcome.
Melted chocolate on the bottom takes these up a notch!

Mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreos and a smores sandwich cookie
I had some smores sandwich cookies that I picked up and thought they would be good to stuff in a cookie. So I put together a chocolate chip cookie dough, added some mini chips and crushed up the remaining 10 Oreos I had leftover from my peanut butter pie recipe. And I stuck a smores sandwich cookie in the middle of it. I have no idea if these will be good or not, but I think the people,at work will eat them.

The cookie monster got this one!
Thanks for stopping by today! Wishong you peacen, happiness and joy! And remember to be kind.
These are the queen of stuffed cookies. An Oreo baked inside a chocolate chip cookie. And they are a request of one of my goddaughters, Sara, for her birthday party. Rob may or may not have taste tested one, so he can vouch for me at the family party tomorrow 🙂
The original Oreo is the best!
The trick to this is to not use too much dough to surround the Oreo. Use 1 1/2 tbs on top and 1 1/2 tbs on the bottom of each Oreo. That way they are nice and puffy and perfect looking.
The Queen of stuffed cookies
Couple of other tips – I also like to use cornstarch to keep the cookies from spreading too much… Spoon your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup… Chill the cookies at least for a few hours.. And preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.
