Another simple, easy to whip up treat. You can stuff these with anything – oreos, candy. You can also make them unstuffed (but what fun is that? 😉)
I want to estimate this makes around 12 cookies.
Ingredients list
1 brownie mix
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (opt)
Oreos
Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine brownie mix and flour. Add oil and eggs. Mix in chips if using. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and evenly form around an oreo. Stagger on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes (be careful not to burn bottoms). They may seem a little gushy on top. Cool a few minutes. Place in fridge to help cookies firm up. Store in covered container.
I could not bring in just one treat for a Bills victory Monday tomorrow. So Rob suggested black cocoa brownies with peanut butter chips and black cocoa frosting. Black cocoa is what makes oreos taste like oreos. I found some on Amazon that I like to use. Of course, my hershey’s classic is my standby/old faithful, but the black cocoa is nice to use once in a while.
Ingredients list
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 /2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup or honey
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour (scooped from your bag into your measuring cup)
1/3 cup black cocoa
1 cup peanut butter chips
Directions – preheat oven to 350. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray. Set aside. In a bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup/honey. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in flour and black cocoa. Fold in chips. Evenly spread into prepared pan. Bake 13 to 17 minutes (toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs). Immediately start prepping frosting.
Frosting ingredients
3 tbs butter softened
3 tbs black cocoa
1 tsp corn syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla
3 to 6 tsp milk
1 cup powdered sugar
Directions – in a bowl, blend butter and cocoa. Add vanilla and corn syrup/honey. Mix in powdered sugar. Blend in enough milk to get the consistency you want. Frost warm brownies. Let cool completely. Cut and store in covered container.
Not a great start for the Bills in the season opener – down at home to the Cardinals 17-3 in the 2nd quarter! Thankfully, we put it together and pulled out a win, including another Josh leap over a defender play (this one ended in a td). Stress inducing for sure, and plenty for the team to clean up before facing the Dolphins Thursday night, but glad to start the season 1-0.
To celebrate, Rob asked for chocolate chip cookies for one of the treats. I am making two for work tomorrow bc everyone will be in Bristol for the week. It’s always nice to see old friends on campus, share some hugs, and laughs.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I also recommend freezing the individual doughs for 30 min to an hour to avoid too much spreading.
Ingredients list –
1 cup butter, melted and cooled 10 minutes
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup, honey or corn syrup
3 3/4 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla and maple syrup/honey/corn syrup. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in chips. Scoop put 1/4 cups of dough. Freeze 30 min to an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on a sheet. Bake 11 to 13 minutes, no longer. They will be a little doughy on top. Cool completley. Store in fridge a few hours to firm up. Store in covered container.
Thanks for stopping by today! Go Bills! Squish the Fish!
Confession – These are huge cookies because I got a late start and used my quarter cup scoop to make the baking process go faster. I also didn’t have a chance to chill the dough. So I cut them in half after they cooled down and brought them into work.
Does oatmeal make them healthier? 😉
Ingredients list
2 1/2 cups quick oats
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix in vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla. Fold in chips. Scoop out quarter cups of dough. I recommend chilling the dough for a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies in a row of 2, one, two and one, as seen below.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Bottoms will be browned. Tops may be gushy, but let the cookies cool and pop them in the fridge to firm up.
Store in covered container. Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a wonderful day. Remember to be kind. Everyone is fighting some sort of battle.
Tomorrow is my goddaughter Sara’s sweet 16 birthday party. When I asked her what I could bring, she asked for these. Very simple to make. I can’t believe she is 16 already. Seems like yesterday, I met and held her for the first time. Time goes by too fast!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I wish you a day of joy, peace and happiness. If you make these, let me know how they turn out.
I have not done as much baking this summer because it has been too hot and humid. No, I do not want ten below zero and two feet of snow, but temps near 90 a dew point close to 70 or above is not great either. Anyways……
Rob asked for brownies so instead of using just a mix. I swapped out the water for ice cream and added some hot fudge (a neat addition to chocolate baked good, as long as you don’t overdo it). He ate one and I brought the rest to work today.
If you have time, let the hot fudge warm to room temp bc it is easier to mix in. Do not microwave or heat it up another way. You can use any ice cream flavor you want. I used cookies n cream for these.
Ingredients
1 brownie mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup ice cream (use any flavor you want)
1/4 cup hot fudge (room temp, if possible)
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray. In a bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs and foil. Blend in hot fudge then ice cream. It may take a while to mix in ice cream. Evenly spread in pan. Bake 22 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
What’s better a batch of Blondies/Chocolate Chip cookie bars? A sheet pan batch! Because a sheet pan recipe makes so much more. And if you are going to bake when it’s 100 degrees and humid, you may as well make it worth your while!
Also I wonder what makes a treat a blondie as opposed to chocolate chip? Perhaps melted butter or extra brown sugar.
Ingredients list
1 cup butter, melted and cooled 15 minutes
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 yolks
2 tbs milk/water
3 1/2 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
1 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet (13×18 inches) with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, yolks, vanilla and milk. Mix in dry ingredients. Fold in chips. Evenly press into prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Be careful not to overbake or they will dry out. If you feel they are undercooked, just let them cool completley and pop them in your fridge for a while to firm them up.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a day of peace, love and joy!

I wanted to jazz up some blondies/chocolate chip cookie bars, so I decided to put some milk chocolate chips in the middle for a chocolate layer.
These are very easy to make. I think I would bake them closer to 20 minutes next time. I baked these for 22.

1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray. In a bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt. Fold in mini chips. Spread half of batter in prepared pan. Evenly spread milk chocolate chips on top. With remaining dough, grab handfuls and lightly flatten. Press on top of milk chocolate chips. Bake 20 minutes. Will seem a little gushy. Cool completely.
