On February 28 my new brother-in-law Mike, will be turning a whopping 24! What an old fart huh? This last summer he came up to Alaska with my family to enjoy some fishing, camping, and see this beautiful place that I call home. We were grocery shopping one day to get our snacks for our week long camping adventure! He was absolutely adamant on getting double stuffed Oreos for the trip. At that moment I could see his burning love for those succulent cookies glistening in his eyes... not really but I could tell that he really liked them.
So recently I was searching the web for different and unusual recipes involving Oreo cookies, and I came across a phenomenal blog! Picky-Palate is a mom of two boys that are picky eaters! She makes up all her own recipes and they all are truly FANTASTIC! She has an awesome collection of cookie recipes and this one was by far my favorite! Who wouldn't like cookies the size of planets right?
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup dark or light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup butter softened ( 2 sticks)
2 large eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chip cookies
1 sleeve Oreo cookies
Add butter until mixture comes to a grainy paste. Then add eggs and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then add chocolate chips. Mix well
Mold the dough around the cookie creating a ball (should be about the size of your palm, I know its huge, the size of your head!)
Drop onto a cookie sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake about 9-12 minutes until golden brown and soft. Transfer from cookie sheet to a cooling rack and let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm and enjoy
now make one for Nate!!!
