Cookies and Cream Cookies

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. I was baking up some Cookies and Cream Cookies.

Chocolate Cookies for the Win

The verdict? These were winners! The dough was rich and delicious. Both Nick and Bill got their chocolate fix and were happy campers. You’ll also want to check out my Mini Oreo Cheesecakes. 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.
