These cookies are super simple, sweet and chocolatey. All you need is a brownie mix, 2 eggs, some melted butter and a cup of chocolate chips.
Ingredients list
1 brownie mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with non-stick baking liners or parchment paper. In a bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs and butter. Blend in chocolate chips. Scoop out 2 tbs dough. Stagger on prepared sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer. Cool completely. If you feel they need to firm up a little more, pop them in the fridge for an hour or so. Store in covered container.
Since it is Valentine’s Day, I wanted to use my heart shaped cutouts. Instead of a traditional sugar cookie cutout, I opted for mini chip/mini m&m cutouts. Full size chips can not be used here. They would make the dough impossible to use cookie cutters on.
This yellow multi shape cookie cutter is an old classic!
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also, this dough does not need chilling.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar

A hat trick of treats to celebrate Josh Allen’s mvp award. These treats feature an oreo crust with pieces of brownie, topped with homemade caramel and topped with melted chocolate chips. if you don’t have spare brownies around, you can leave them out. The homemade caramel part may sound intimidating, but it is so easy.
Oreo crust ingredients
30 oreos finely crushed
4 or 5 brownies broken up into bits
4 tbs butter, melted
Directions – line a bread pan with tin foil. In a bowl, combine ingredients and press evenly in top of foil. Freeze for 10 minutes
Caramel ingredients
1/3 cup brown sugar
8 tbs butter
2 tbs heavy cream
In a pan over low-medium heat, combine sugar and butter, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream. Let sit for 15 minutes. Then, pour over oreo brownie crust. Top with melted chocolate. Cut and store in covered container in fridge.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you day is filled with peace, joy and happiness, and lots of love.
The second treat of my hat trick of treats for Josh’s MVP are a favorite of many cookie dough brownies. They looks remarkably like the caramel oreo crust treat in pix, but are much different! 🙂
I used a brownie mix for these, but you can use any homemade recipe if you want. These are also easy to make and super sweet!
Ingredients
1 pan of brownies (9×9 or 8×8 recipe) prepared and cooled completely
4 tbs butter, almost completely melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tbs milk
1/3 cup flour
Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add milk and vanilla. Fold in flour. Mix well and press evenly over brownies. Top with melted hershey kisses or chocolate chips. I recommend cutting these before the melted chocolate completely sets, because it is easier, trust me. Store in covered container .
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.
This is a simple chocolate cookie cake with a sweet chocolate frosting. Both are easy. And I sprinkled some mini m&ms on top.
Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from your containers into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount.
Cookie cake ingredients list
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
Directions- spray a ten inch springform pan (or cake pan) with baking spray, then line with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine butter, sugar and brown sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Now make the frosting.
Frosting ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
This is what happens when the cookie cake is cut before the frosting sets
Directions – in a saucepan, combine butter, milk and sugar over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let mixture come to a boil. Remove from heat. Add chips. Let stand a minute or two. Store smooth. Pour over cookie cake (even if it is warm). Let frosting set as cookie cake cools completely. Cut and store in covered container.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Wishing you a day of peace, joy and love (also wishing for Josh Allen to win NFL MVP tonight)
What better way to spend part of a Monday than baking large chocolate chip cookies? Very few that I can think of.
I tossed in some mini m&ms too. You can add different flavors of chips or nuts if you want too. I used my quarter cup cookie scoop and chilled the individual doughs over night to keep them puffy. Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Do not pour into your measuring cup. Packed in flour could lead to a dry cookie.
8 tbs butter, softened
1/2 cup crisco
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tbs water
3 1/2 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini m&ms
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, crisco, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and water. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in chips and m&ms. Scoop out 1/4 cups dough. Chill a few hours or overnight. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper. Stagger cookies on prepared sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, no longer.
This is what I mean by staggering cookies
Cool completely. Store in covered container.

Not sure if you have heard, but we have a little game set for Orchard Park, NY Sunday night – Bills – Ravens. Last game of the weekend. I am excited. Should be a good one!
To celebrate, I am bringing in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for football friday. These are very easy to make. Instead of butter or crisco, these use vegetable oil (i am sure another oil would be fine too).
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 a few hours before baking to help them stay puffy. And preheat your oven before baking.
Ingredients list
2 1/2 cups oats (i used instant)
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, blend oats and dry ingredients. Mix in oil, eggs and vanilla. Fold in chips. You may need to mix the dough with your hands to help it come together. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners. Bake 10 to 11 minutes, no longer. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Remember to be kind! Go Bills!
I got a new container of black cocoa today and wanted to put some of it to use, so I made some black cocoa snowballs with mini chocolate chips. Always good to heat up the oven on a very chilly day!
You can also use regular unsweetened baking cocoa or special dark cocoa if you want.
Remember to scoop your flour and cocoa from their containers into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. Also, make sure your oven is preheated before baking.
Ingredients list
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup)
1/4 cup black cocoa
1 tsp salt
1 tbs water
1 cup mini chocolate chips
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients (this may take a while. Dough will be crumbly). Add water. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop out 2 tbs of dough. Chill. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners. Stagger doughs on sheet, like this.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle hot cookies with powdered sugar. the powdered sugar melts into the cookie and makes them even sweeter!
Cool completely. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar. Store in covered container.
I made some fudge last night and thought I would use some of it to stuff in snowball cookies (still plenty of fudge left over. ). The cookies spread a little more than I prefer, but I was in a bit of a hurry and didn’t have time to chill or freeze the dough. 🙂
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I recommend freezing or chilling the dough in the fridge for a few hours to try to keep the cookies puffy.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
4 tbs sugar
6 tbs powdered sugar
3 cups flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Fudge, cut into small cubes
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar and powdered sugar. Blend in flour. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and divide in half. Flatten each half. Put a cube of fudge in between 2 halves and seal cookie. Chill or freeze a few hours. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, no longer. Cool completely. I popped mine in the fridge to firm them up. Store in covered container.
What could make a chocolate cookie better? An oreo inside!
A rather simple treat for football friday 15 – chocolate snowball cookies stuffed with a hershey kiss or an oreo! I used a sugar cookie mix to make thing easier.
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.
Ingredients
1 sugar cookie mix
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 -2 tbs water
1 tsp vanilla
Hershey kisses or other candy
Oreos
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.
Thanks for stopping by today! I wish you a happy day, filled with love, joy and peace.
