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.

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...
