With all the Oreos I’ve picked up in the past week for the last Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie, and looking for something simpler and would produce a few more cookies for a big BBQ…I went on Picky Palate and found another “oreo cookie” recipe…and well, another great success!!! Everyone LOVED it!!!

Overnight, it’s a little hard, but OMG fresh??? It’s EXTRA CHEWY!

OK. So this is what you need.

Ingredients:

2 sticks softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet
1 cup cocoa powder
15 whole Oreo Cookies, finely ground

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.

2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.

3. Place flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add to wet ingredients along with cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, slowly mixing until just combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart from each other. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve with milk.

Makes 3 dozen cookies… and it’s best with vanilla ice-cream… heck use them to make ice-cream sandwiches with!!! YUM!

3 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake = Epic Fail!

Noosiekins — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:13:32 +0000

So back when I was volunteering for the Winter Olympics, when me and the girls gets super bored, we go onto Stumble Upon and “stumble” onto many random sites.

Well one of the many sites I came across was this one that teaches you how to make a 3 minute chocolate cake in a mug. So months later, I finally went to the store to grab the ingredients and well decided to follow the recipe and try this magical cake out.

Well as you can see from the gallery bellow….. it was successful in “cooking” the cake in the microwave…BUT it looks EXTREAMLY and taste EXTREAMLY nasty! I highly NOT recommend this recipe at all…You’d have to be desperate for chocolate cake to make this.

2 Bites Bacon n Eggs Cups

Noosiekins — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 17:45:12 +0000

This is what happens when you are hungry and at work… You look at recipes online, especially breakfast recipes! I just came across another alternative to the breakfast in a cup!

Courtesy of The Noshery another site that I check often for all things yum, I came across this:

A 2 Bite Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups!

I figure, you know, everyone must have toasts at home some how, so this may be easier than getting bread bowls from my previous posting.

Curtesy of The Noshery

This recipe makes about 6 of these little bites.

Ingredients:

6 slices of bread

6 slices of bacon

6 eggs

1/2 cup of shredded cheese

salt & pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with butter non-stick spray.

2. Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out of bread slices about 3 inches in diameter.

3. Take bread circles and press them into the muffin pan, set aside.

4. Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Cook bacon on the skillet until partially cooked but still pliable, about 3 minutes.

5. Shape bacon strips into the toast cups, fill with 1 Tbs of shredded cheese. Place in the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the bacon to toast just a little more. Remove from oven.

6. Crack your egg and separate out most of the egg white. Drop eggs into the cups, sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Place back in the oven and cook until white begins to set, about another 8 – 10 minutes. The yolk should be creamy.

7. Remove from oven when done and pop out using a spoon, serve warm.

As an aside, to make it extra breakfastsy, add some maple syrup to it! YUMMMMMM!

**Update** So I tried this idea… using Crescent Rolls instead of bread…SO Good!!!
