Mini Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies



These cookies, well the original big version anyway, became a favorite for our family the very first time I made them.  They were one of the first recipes I saw on Picky Palate's site and made myself.  In fact, they are one of the only cookies that my husband, the baked-good hater, requests.  He had a serious craving for them this week,  and though I love them, they aren't really the kind of cookie you can sit and eat three of.  Well, you can but then you don't feel so good afterwards.  That is why I made him his cookies...then I made mine.  The mini version is so much better!  Same dough, same basic idea, only these you CAN sit and eat 3...or 6...without feeling too guilty or getting a tummy ache!


Gather up all of your ingredients.


Cream together the butter, white sugar...


and brown sugar until fluffy.


Whisk together dry ingredients.


Add the vanilla to the butter & sugar mixture.


Add in the eggs...


Add in the flour a little bit at a time.





Mix in the chips and get ready to roll!


Scoop out melon size balls of dough.


Place one ball of dough beneath the mini Oreo and one on top.


Pinch the ends of dough together to seal the mini Oreo inside.


Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.





Try not to eat them all at once! :)


Mini Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Picky Palate      
Makes 80-100, depending on how big you scoop the dough

2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cups brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
10 oz. chocolate chips (1 bag)
1 bag mini Oreos

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a stand mixer, cream together the butter with the brown and white sugar until fluffy.

In another bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.  Add the vanilla and eggs to the butter and sugar mixture.  Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.  Add in the chocolate chips.

Using a melon baller, or just your hands, scoop out small circles of cookie dough, placing one on top and one on bottom of each mini Oreo.  Pinch together the edges of the dough to seal the mini Oreo inside.  Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.  As with mini cupcakes, watch these mini cookies closely as they can over cook quickly.  Move cookies to a cooling rack as soon as they are cool enough to lift off the baking sheet.

Easy Bread Machine White Bread

About 6 months ago, I made the very difficult decision to leave my long-time job at Lower Columbia College for the opportunity to work at University of Portland, which had been a dream of mine for quite a while. During my last few days at LCC, one of my co-workers and friends asked me if I would finally be able to resume my blog and share recipes since I was going from a 40 hour work-week to a 35 hour work-week. At the time, I told him I wasn’t sure but that I would certainly try! Well, it has been 6 months...and all that extra time ended up consumed with a new obsession - gardening! (I’m sure there will be more about that new adventure in the future.) Anyway, I still haven’t been all that active with baking lately but I think this is the perfect opportunity to change that, if for no other reason, than it has  been almost impossible to even buy bread in the town of Woodland right now! Lol Which leads me to my post today - we’re making bread! And though I will end up making many

Easy Fudgy Brownies

I’m sure many of us are craving some comfort foods at this time - I base this of course on the fact that it seems that the baking aisle in every grocery store I have gone into since March 15th has been mostly empty of even the very basic of supplies - flour, yeast, brownie mix…It is getting better but short of going to literally every grocery store from here to Portland which makes me just a tad bit nervous and completely defeats the point of limiting time out in public, there appears to be a very small selection in pre-made mixes; and if I’m being honest, boxed mix is usually my go to for brownies! That being said, luckily I have a selection of brownie recipes I regularly use and like with supplies I normally stock in my pantry. For those of you craving a good fudgy brownie and lacking in mix like me, here is a from scratch brownie recipe that is not only super easy but dirties very few dishes. Enjoy!

With all the beautiful weather we've had over the last couple of weeks, I find myself longing for Spring - for sunshine and flowers, longer days and the chirping of birds.  And of course...Girl Scout cookies!  For those who are linked in to the Girl Scout community, you know that the beginning of Spring is when Girl Scout cookies are delivered and girls of all ages begin to pop up at local grocery stores, working hard at setting up their booths and telling their community what service projects and fun trips they hope to support with the money they earn through all of their hard work.  I myself am a Girl Scout leader and the Troop Cookie Manager for our troop so I swear I live, breath and dream all things cookie from January through March. What better way to celebrate the beginning of all that hard work than to make a cookie inspired recipe for the Girl Scouts of Western Washington recipe contest?  And I can't think of any better way to get people in the mood for Girl Sco
