Oreo brookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Our selection committee list yesterday was all about best desserts.   One of our callers mentioned oreo brookies, which are a layer of tollhouse bars, a layer of oreos and a layer of  brownies.  They also have a pg-13 name, but i won’t go into it here.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking.

Someone was a little eager and cut these while they were still hot!
  • Chocolate chip layer
  • 7 tbs butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with pam.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Fold in chips.  Press into prepared pan.

Layer with oreos

  • Brownie layer ingredients
  • 6 tbs butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbs unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • Extra chips

Directions – in a microwave safe bowl, heat 1 cup chocolaye chips and butter in 45 second increments until you can stir smooth.  Set aside.  In another bowl, mix eggs, vanilla and sugar.  Add chocolate mixture.   Blend in dry ingredients.   Drop by spoonfuls on top of oreo layer and spread evenly. 

Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.  Bake 350 degrees 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. 

Cool completely. 

Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I present a chocolate chip cookie, but with 3 kinds of chocolate chips – semisweet, milk and white.  These are one of Rob’s favorites, so I am asked to make them quite a bit.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend freezing the individual doughs for about an hour or chilling them for a few hours before baking.  And, preheat your oven before baking. 

These are a good size cookie, so I baked them at a higher temp – 390 degrees, but only for 9 or 10 minutes.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed Brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream crisco, sugar and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs, water,  and vanilla.  Blendnin dry ingredients. Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. 

Freeze for an hour or chill in fridge for a few hours.  Preheat oven to 390 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on the prepared sheet. 

Bake 9 to 10 min, no longer.  (there will be golden patches on top, bottoms will be browned).  They may seem gushy,  but they will firm up.  You can also pop them in the fridge to firm them up as well.  Cool completely.  

Store in covered container.

Mini chip chocolate chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

It has been rainy and cold here for what seems like forever.. so much so, that I turned our heat back on today.  I had turned it off for the season, not so much because of money, but because it is May!  Thanks climate change!  Anyways…..

In a fun way to also heat up the house, I made mini chip chocolate chip cookies.  They came out nice and puffy…  a little gooey, but the bottoms were browned, so I popped them in the fridge to firm them up.

I recommend scooping your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also, chill the individual mounds of dough for a few hours or overnight to keep them puffy.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tbs sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups plus 2 tbs flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix in baking soda and salt.  Fold in flour.   Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours or overnight.   When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 11 to 13 minutes,  no longer.  If cookies are gushy, pop them in the fridge a few hours to firm them up.  Store in covered container.

Chocolate chip cookies

Part two of my treats for the final NFL regular season weekend – another version of chocolate chip cookies. These have a tbs of oil, which makes them so soft!

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Preheat your oven to 350 for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp. Also, form the dough into tall cylinders to keep them puffy.

I recommend chilling the dough if you have time. If you don’t that is ok, they might not be as puffy.

Ingredients list

  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and grated with a cheese grater
  • 1 tbs oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Directions- line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and salt. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in chips. Scoop out 1.5 tbs dough and form into tall cylinders. Chill a few hours if you have time. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stagger on prepared sheets. Bake 10 to 13 minutes (edges will be browned, tops may be a little gushy). Cool completely. Store in covered container.

Oreo brownie cookies with chocolate ganache

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into you measuring cup. Also,form your dough into high mounds and chill these overnight. And,preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking so your oven cycles to the right temp for baking

Still trying to use up my extra large box of Oreos,so I decided to finely crush them up, toss them in my brownie mix cookies. Then frost them with chocolate ganache (a fancy name for melted chocolate) and top with more finely crushed Oreos. These came out a little flatter than I prefer, so I may add a little more flour and a tbs of cornstarch next time to see if that helps them stay puffier.

😋
  • Ingredients
  • 1 brownie mix
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbs water
  • 3 /4 cup finely crushed oreos

Directions – combine brownie mix, flour, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Blend in crushed Oreos. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dpugh. chill at least a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool completley.

  • Ganache ingredients
  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions – in a microwave safe bowl,heat both types of chips for one minute. Set aside. In another microwave safe bowl, heat cream for one minute. Pour over chips, let set 10 minutes. Stir smooth. Frost completely cooled cookies. Top with crushed Oreos. Store in covered container.

I went a little crazy with the ganache!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with joy and love. Remember to be kind. We are all fighting a battle… Some are more difficult than others.

Chocolate Chip cookies recipe # 25

Uncategorized Leave a comment
Extra chips in this cookie!

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!!!
