We have a new coordinator for my Secret Recipe Club group…and I was lucky enough to get her, our fearless leader, Debbi Does Dinner, for my blog assignment. Debbi’s original blog focus was on healthy recipes, but (whew) she also does post some mighty impressive desserts. As I was looking through some of the options, I happened to ask my hubby if he’d like me to bake a chocolate chip cookie that had cocoa and Oreo crumbs added to them. Well, without even a pause, the answer was affirmative…my hunt ended then and there.
The verdict? These were winners! The dough was rich and delicious…and both Nick and Bill got their chocolate fix…and were happy campers. Thanks so much, Debbi!
Tip of the Day: Some cookies taste best on the day they are made. To maintain quality, place those you won’t be eating in the first 24 hours into a freezer grade zip-lock bag, remove as much air as possible and freeze. Remove what you’d like to eat each day and bring to room temperature in a sealed container. My kids love to warm them up with a short zap in the microwave.
Cookies and Cream Cookies…recipe courtesy of Debbi Does Dinner
2 sticks of butter, at room temperature
1 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cocoa powder
15 whole Oreos, ground in a food processor
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350º. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat butter and sugars till well combined, then add eggs and vanilla and mix till incorporated. Mix in flour, soda, salt, and cocoa. When well combined, mix in cocoa powder, then Oreo crumbs. Finally mix in chocolate chips.
Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place onto prepared baking sheets. Bake about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on sheets then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.

These sound perfect for my family too. That’s a great idea…I usually hesitate to make cookies and desserts because my small family and we never finish them. So good idea to put the cookies in the freezer right away! It is on my list to someday join the secret recipe club!
I can always count on your delectable cookies.. these are great looking!
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing!
And who can say no to cookies?! I can see them disappear in 24 hours in my house, no freezer needed!

I was away for the weekend and am just catching up. These cookies look delightful.
These look so good. I’ve had much success with any Oreo infused desserts I’ve made, so I must try this one too.
I’m so sending this recipe to a friend of mine who is an Oreo aficionado. This looks fantastic!
They look marvelous Liz, I have to try them
I think you probably picked the most unhealthy recipe on my blog! They certainly were good though. I’m glad your family enjoyed them! Thanks!
I’m all for eating chocolate cookies instead of dinner!

I miss SRC, I forgot to sign up one month (wedding) now I’m having a hard time getting back in. Maybe I need to beg?
Your cookies look wonderful! That would be a chocolate fix for sure! Yum!
Um, yeah! Who would like oreos in their chocolate chip cookies? YUM!
Yum I LOVE cookies and cream! By the way, is that a reusable porcelain pint/quart sized container? How cute!

A great looking cookie and I love the ceramic berry box. I have been watching for them to go on sale.
Delicious cookies, love to munch them while watching a movie.
This sounds like a terrific cookie recipe for my friends, although I think I’ll add chopped Hershey’s Cookies ‘n Cream bars if I get the chance to make them. Thanks for sharing! Also, I’m so glad I heard about the Secret Recipe Club through this post–it sounds like bushels of fun (even though I can’t join yet, not enough posts…but I’ll be waiting for the day when I can!).
I would have said yes without hesitation too!!! They look delicious!
I love the tip of heating these a bit in the microwave, yum!
