Frosted chocolate chip cookies (with chips ahoy mixed in)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I have seen suggestions to add finely ground cookies or pop tarts to homemade cookies for a neat twist so I have done that with these chocolate chip cookies, adding 2 cups of finely ground chips ahoy.

Remember 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 keep them puffy.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Cookies ingredients list
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups finely ground chips ahoy cookies (save a few tbs to sprinkle on top of frosting)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in finely ground chips ahoy cookies.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 6 tbs butter, softened
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar (scooped from your bag into measuring cup)
  • 3 tbs heavy cream

In a bowl, cream butter and vanilla.  Blend in powdered sugar.  Add enough cream to get the consistency you want. Frost cookies.  Sprinkle extra crushed chips ahoy on top.  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.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Stepping up my game for NFL Divisional Playoff football friday tomorrow.  I made homemade hostess cupcakes and these crushed Golden oreo cookies.  really, it’s a basically cookie recipe with crushed Golden oreos mixed in. And I topped them with melted chocolate.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I recommend chilling these overnight to keep them puffy as they bake. Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 tbs brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 24 golden oreos, finely crushed

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar and oil. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Fold in crushed oreos. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies like below

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. They will seem a little underbaked on top, but it is ok. They will continue to bake after you remove them from oven. Cool completely. Top with melted chocolate chips or hershey kisses. Store in covered container.
