Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies







Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies-do I have your attention??? Those words sound just Heavenly, don't they?? I am not sure where I found this recipe, but it was in my pile of printed-out-goodness that I keep handy when I am in the mood to try something new and yummy. Today, we were in the mood for something that involved oreos, and this recipe totally fit the bill. These were easy to make and a great recipe to get your kiddos involved in the baking. Just have them put the oreos in the middle of the cookie dough. My son loved helping, and he especially loved sneaking a few stray oreos :). These cookies are best served straight out of the oven with an ice-cold glass of milk. Delish!!!

Have a blessed day, my friends, and remember that you are dearly loved by your Heavenly Father!!


Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
•2 sticks butter, softened
•3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•1 cup white sugar
•2 large eggs
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
•1 package Oreo cookies – I used mini oreos to make smaller cookies, but you could use regular or double-stuffed oreos to make super large cookies

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. If you do not have a stand mixer, use a large bowl and a hand mixer.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture and combine thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with and to keep the dough from spreading when baking.

Using a cookie scoop place one scoop of dough on top of an Oreo cookie. Place another single scoop on the bottom of the Oreo to create a cookie sandwich. Seal the edges together to completely close in the Oreo. (NOTE: I made smaller cookies with mini oreos-I just placed one small scoop of cookie dough on the parchment-paper lined cookie sheet; my son placed a mini oreo in the center of each cookie; and then I topped the cookie with another scoop of dough and sealed the edges with my fingers-this process worked great!)

Place the balls of cookie dough on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet and bake for 9-13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.

Outrageous Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies


My sweet friend, Libby, from www.honeypied.blogspot.com posted a recipe a few days ago for some outrageous chocolate chip cookies.

Check out her post for the original recipe: http://honeypied.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-cookie-time.html. She gives a couple of great tips about how to make these super healthy by using whole wheat flour and less sugar.


The cookies sounded amazing just as they are, but since I am a bigger peanut butter fan than I am a chocolate fan,I tweaked the recipe a little. I substituted the chocolate chips for a mixture of reeses peanut butter chips and mini chocolate chips. The result was delicious-the perfect soft, chewy cookie. I shared some with my family and friends who also agreed that this recipe is a keeper! So, thanks, Libby :). Libby also has a super-cute etsy store where she sells handmade dog beds, adorable little girls dolls, and beautiful ladies necklaces and headbands. I personally own several of her necklaces and headbands, and I get compliments whenever I wear them. I have included a picture of me modeling her headband. Check out her etsy shop-you will love it! She is even having a sale on the dolls and necklaces this month. All necklaces are $10 with free shipping and the dolls are buy one get one half off. They would make perfect Easter gifts :). http://www.etsy.com/shop/honeypied

You are prayed for daily and loved dearly by your Heavenly Father! He loves you with an everlasting love!

The MOST AMAZING Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever!





Are you in search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie-one that is soft and extra-chocolatey; one that melts in your mouth and cries out for a cup of cold milk? Well, throw out all of your other chocolate chip cookie recipes, because this one is by far the best. By using shortening instead of butter and lots of mini chocolate chips, you ensure that the cookie is extra moist with every bite full of chocolate!
Bake several batches this weekend to share with your family and friends...random acts of kindness touch people's hearts in ways that you cannot imagine. God loves a Cheerful Giver; and the Recipient especially loves it if it involves CHOCOLATE :)!!
Enjoy!! You are prayed for and loved immensely by your Heavenly Father!
