I found this recipe online somewhere along the lines, and made it for one of my recent “cheats” on my current diet. I’m trying to find the site in my browser history so I can come back and update this post and give proper credit, but here’s the recipe for now regardless. You will probably want to have some milk on hand for consumption.
Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 oz bag chocolate chips
1 package Oreo Cookies (regular or double stuff)
Process:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In one bowl, combine the butter and sugars until well combined. I didn’t have a stand mixer handy, but it probably would have helped. Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add flour mixture your first bowl and make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined, then stir in chocolate chips. Take a ball of cookie dough and flatten out to about 1/4″ thick, and maybe 1/4″ larger than the Oreo. Put the Oreo in the center, and fold the edges up. Add additional dough to the top. and press to seal.
3. Place cookies on to a foil lined baking sheet and bake 14-18 minutes or until they look golden on top. Give them a few minutes then transfer to a plate to cool. Enjoy! I managed to eat ONE!
It’s that time of year again here in Buffalo. The weather is getting colder, and the leaves are starting to change. Before you know it, we will be under 2 feet of lake effect snow coming off Lake Erie! Taking some time to prepare your plumbing before winter hits could save you a lot of headaches, and a LOT of money!
Yesterday, Andy and I decided to hit up the Buffalo Wing Festival, since neither of us had been there before and we figured it might be a good time. Prior to this, I had never been there, so it seemed like something I had to do. I’m pretty sure Andy had been at least once, but the call of the Buffalo Wing can be ignored by no man. When we arrived, we ran into my friend Matt Reilly, who I hadn’t seen in years, so we decided to hang out and rate our wing experience as we went.
