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!

Here’s what mine looks like taken with a regular digital camera :)

3 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake = Epic Fail!

September 6, 2010 in Cooking, Recipes, Sweets

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.
