Oreo Stuffed Cookies

Hey cooking friends.

A few days ago Mark sent me a link for this website that is called "Becky Bakes".  There are some wonderful recipes on that site.  And for all of you out there that love Oreos and fresh baked cookies, this is the perfect recipe.  Let me warn you though:  THIS RECIPE IS DEFINITELY NOT LOW FAT, BUT IT IS WORTH IT.

Oreo Stuffed Cookies

2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp pure vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
10 oz bag of chocolate chips, or other favorite chips (for mine we used the Andes Mint chips)
1 pkg. Oreos

Preheat oven to 350.  Cream butter and sugars together with a mixer until well combined.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda.  Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.  Using a cookie scoop take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an oreo cookie.  Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of oreo cookie.  Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until oreo cookie is enclosed with dough.  Place onto ungreased baking sheet and bake for 9-13 minutes.  Cool and serve.


Okay so today the kids and I made these, and look at how delicious they look.  Trust you won't be able to eat more than one at a time, but they are soooooooo good.  Next time I make them I am going to use Nutter Butter cookies, and chocolate chip cookie dough.  Think of all the variations you can do.  But all will be great.

Happy cooking and enjoy your food!!!!

Carrot Souffle

Hey all!

Well I am back from Florida.  Had a little fun sun and a lot of rain.  But all in all it was a great week.  Came home to find out that two of the kids and myself have strep.  But the upside is that I have time to do some cooking. 

I had a wonderful recipe shared with me.  It was sent to me via my mom and given to her by her boss' wife.  So Nancy thanks so much for sharing.  I enjoyed it, and I am sure each of you will too.

Golden Carrot Souffle
1 lb. carrots
1/2 cup sugar
3 T. flour
1 t. vanilla
1/2 cup butter
3 large eggs
1 t. baking powder

*Peel and cook sliced carrots in water and a little salt until tender.  Once soft, drain well.
*Put drained carrots and butter in food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
*Now add remainder of ingredients: sugar, flour, vanilla, eggs and baking powder.  Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
*Put in greased casserole dish, and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until firm. 

This was also good with a touch of cinnamon mixed in the mixture.


Once again thanks to Nancy for sharing this.  I hope each of you enjoy this.  Happy cooking and enjoy your food.
