Need a quick treat? This is one recipe to try. I used golden oreos, but you can use any candy you want too. I added sprinkles to the dough, which is optional, of course. You can also make these unstuffed. I estimate this recipe makes 12 to 15 cookies.
Ingredients list
1 cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tbs water
Golden oreos
Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine cake mix, vegetable oil, egg and water. You may need to use your hands (like when making meatballs) to get dough to come together. Add sprinkles, if using. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and form around oreos. Stagger cookies on prepared sheets. Bake 9 to 10 min. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
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.
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!
Rob and I were having a discussion about old school treats from when we were younger, and I brought up Magic Middles by Keebler. They were a shortbread cookie stuffed with some sort of soft chocolate. For some reason, Keebler stopped making them. I decided to try a version of my own. These shortbread cookies are much softer than the magic middles I remember. I stuffed them with a super easy fudge recipe (only 2 ingredients).
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup. I recommend chilling or freezing the stuffed dough to keep from spreading as much. Also, make sure your oven is preheated before baking.

I had some leftover hostess fluff filling and hostess squiggle dough after making Rob’s hostess cupcake birthday cake, so I decided to use it by making some Suzy q brownies. You can use whatever brownie recipe you want (or peruse my blog for some) or use a mix.

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.

These cookies are magical. A soft cake-like vanilla cookies with one half frosted with vanilla buttercream, the other frosted with a chocolate fudge frosting. I actually made these smaller than a traditional half moon/bw cookie and they are still pretty big

I broke out of the chocolate box with these treats – funfetti cookies stuffed with golden oreos.
Even my chocolate loving friends will enjoy this very sweet treat! They have sprinkles!
It is humid, again, so they spread way more than I prefer, so I cut them in half (my work friends would do that anyways 😀). Next time, I may freeze the individual doughs to try and prevent as much spreading.
This recipe made a lot of cookies! But is that ever a bad thing?
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also freeze the individual doughs to prevent spreading, if you want. And preheat your oven before baking.

I thought we already had national chocolate chip cookie day this year, but I saw yesterday that it is August 4th, which is today. I already had funfetti cookies stuffed with golden oreos, but still whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, also including white and milk chocolate chips. These are made with browned butter and bread flour. I used a bread flour recipe bc it is terribly humid, again, and I was hoping to keep the cookies from spreading. I also froze the dough mounds for that same reason. The first batch did not spread at all. They are large blobs and a little doughy, so I popped them in the fridge.
These might be a little too puffy!
I have a few different cookie pans, so it might have been that. 😀
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I recommend chilling the individual dough cookies for a few hours. Also preheat your oven before baking.
Ingredients list
1 cup butter, browned and cooled 10 min
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs heavy cream or milk
2 1/2 cups bread flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions – pour browned butter in a mixing bowl. Mix in brown sugar and sugar. Blend in egg, yolk, vanilla and cream/milk. Fold in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies on sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Tops will likely be gushy. Place them in fridge to firm them up.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderfully, happy day!
