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 been awhile since I’ve posted one of my culinary creations. The dining hall at Niagara University used to make this dessert called a Magic Cookie Bar, which I used to consume at a ridiculous rate whenever it was out. Recently I decided to make it at home. There is a lot of room for variety in this recipe. Change the type of chips you use, add nuts, add coconut, whatever you like. Personally, I don’t like coconut so I opted not to include it.
I decided I needed a break from the real estate writing for a day, so I’m posting my baked mac and cheese recipe. I modified a recipe that I found online at Food Net*work, to better suit my needs. This yields 8 servings, easily, and probably more if you are serving it as a side dish along with something else.
I’m deviating from my normal posts about real estate and technology to bring you a recipe that was shared with me by another agent in my office. Ashley, our office manager (and newest agent – congrats!) was raving about these truffles that she made this past weekend, and I finally broke down and made some last ngiht.
