Sick and tired of plain old Oreos?!

Hey there!  Remember me?  I know, I know...I have no excuse for abandoning you all and leaving you to search for delicious baked goods all on your own.  All I can promise is that it won't happen again, I swear!  I may not post every day, or even every week, but I will do my best to try to post at least once a week...probably on Fridays...they are my only day off.  See, don't you feel special?!  I am going to share my only day off with you!

Okay, enough sucking up and apologizing already.  I am sure you are all dieing to know what wonderful thing I have discovered involving Oreo cookies.  And no, those of you thinking these are my truffles...sorry they are not...this is something way more unusual and oh so very yummy!  Oreo stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!!!!  They are delicious, they are wonderful and as I sit here writing to all of you glorious readers, I am watching my family devour them at an amazing speed and ruining their dinners!  For shame, family, FOR SHAME!!!! 

Here they are, don't they look amazing?  They are quite large though, essentially three cookies in one, so keep them away from your family until after dinner.  Learn from my mistakes people...trust me!



 My hubby found these for me when he was looking at one of his sites...he saw a picture, read what they were and then showed me a new blog...Buns In My Oven...great blog!  I am so in love with her recipes, you should hop on over there and check it out, seriously.  She did this recipe a little while ago and she in return got it from yet another amazing blog, Picky Palate...also wonderful and a new fav of mine.  I am making a couple of things from their pages for the Super Bowl this weekend in fact!


Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookiesrecipe from Picky Palate
  • 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 had a bunch leftover)

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.
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.  (I didn't do this long enough and mine seemed to spread more than hers.)
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. Squish the scoops of dough together and seal the edges together to completely enclose the Oreo.




Place the balls of cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 9-13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
Be sure to enjoy these with a big glass of cold milk!

Fruit & Nut Granola

I love having granola for breakfast!  I remember always wanting to have some granola whenever we had it in the house as a kid, it seemed like the kind of food grown ups ate, sort of like Grape Nuts only way better! The biggest down fall to granola is the really yummy stuff is sort of expensive, especially if it has lots of fruit and nuts, just the way I like it!  That's fine though, they can keep their expensive granola because this stuff is so simple to make at home! It takes almost no time and the joys of making it yourself is you know exactly what is going into it and you can customize your ingredients depending on your tastes!  Like I said, I love mine with lots of fruit and toasted nuts so I tend to use quite a bit of them in my recipe.  Feel free to adjust this to your tastes and try out different ingredients like coconut and various seeds, nuts and fruits. In a medium bowl combine your oats and sunflower seeds. Roughly chop you...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

As  we all know, Halloween is this Sunday and as a result, many schools are having parties and my daughter's preschool was no exception.  I had tons of ideas of what I wanted to make, but in the end, me being me, I decided on cupcakes.  I went back and forth, from red velvet, to cream filled, until I finally decided to go with some of my all time favorites and make the pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes from Love and Olive Oil .  I made these last year in October and brought them to my best friend's house and she fell in love with them, so much so that I made a cake version of them for her party. I had one problem though this time, the frosting listed with the recipe just never turned to frosting.  I have made it before and it is delicious and has turned out well both times, but this time I just couldn't get it to work.  I don't know if it was because I tried to double the recipe, if I over-heated the egg whites or if I didn't have the mixer speed ...

The cookie that has it all: Double Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies!

So I'm not sure how many of you know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate but I might have tossed around words like "God's gift to food" or "the most yummiest thing of all time" in the past.  Long story short, if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life you can be assured that peanut butter and chocolate would be main ingredients in my choice.  That is why I was so captivated by these cookies I saw posted over on Picky Palate 's page.  They have chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels...and they are topped with a tiny bit of sea salt, bringing that whole sweet/salty combo that is out of this world!  What more could you possible ask for in one small baked good?  Nothing I tell you!  Well, almost nothing in my opinion.  I am not really a fan of white chocolate so I substituted semi-sweet chips for the ones added in but either way these truly are the cookies that have it all!  For this recipe you are going to need some broken pre...
