I had a bag of oreos and thought those need to be crushed and baked in a chocolate cookie. I made the dough, divided it into thirds. In one third, I added peanut butter chips, I added white chips to another third and semisweet chips to the final third. I made 15 cookies total, 5 from each third of dough.

It was stressful, but wonderful watching our sabres win game 6 in Boston and move on (as a Buffalo fan, ending a Boston team’s season is sweet, considering all the pain they have caused us). Now, we meet up and meet Tampa or Montreal in round 2!
These treats I jazzed up a lot. You can keep them simple, if you like. You absolutely do not need to add the crushed chips ahoy!

Rob bought some almond m&ms and I thought they would be perfect in a cookie!
I used a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, instead of vanilla, I used almond extract. I also used part bread flour along with all purpose flour. They spread out a little more than I prefer, so maybe next time I add a little more flour and bake the dough frozen to see if that helps.

Triple chip cookies, starring brown butter and semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. I didn’t chill these as long as I usually do, so they are a little flatter than i prefer. But rob said they are good, so that works for me!

In honor of the US women’s Olympic hockey team winning the gold medal and our men’s team taking on Canada for gold Sunday, I really wanted to step up my dessert game. I saw Costco has this new chocolate chip cookie bar cake – a chocolate cake layer, creamy filling with pieces of edible cookie dough, chocolate chip cookie cake, topped with a thin layer of chocolate frosting. I think next time, I would put the cookie cake layer on the bottom (because it is kind of heavy) or make a yellow layer and add chocolate chips to it. It took a while to make, but the weather is not great, so why not try this?
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. Same goes for your powdered sugar and baking cocoa. And, preheat your oven before baking.
Before you start this process, take out 4 and 1/2 sticks of butter and set aside, so they soften.
Also take out 3/4 cup ice cream and put in a cup before baking, in the fridge, so it melts.
