18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook In A Mug. Oreo and Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. Oreo and Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars There is a very special friend of mine who is having a baby next month.

Oreo and Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Her name is Jenny, and she is seemingly obsessed with creating recipes of all kinds with Oreos. Her most famous recipe is one in which she stuffs a homemade chocolate chip cookie dough with an Oreo and bakes it up into a delicious new cookie (yep, Jenny is the originator of that idea). Anyway, since my sweet friend Jenny is having a baby, that’s cause for celebration… so I made something with Oreos today as a tribute to Jenny and her soon-to-be new baby boy: Oreo and Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars I figured I’d stick with Jenny’s chocolate-chip + oreo theme, since it works so darn well.

Seriously, when I think of Oreos, I think of Jenny. And now he’s 11 and about to enter middle school, attitude and all. So let’s make this treat! Spread a layer of Double Stuff Oreos on top of the cookie dough. Drizzle caramel on top (jarred caramel is fine). Lofthouse Sugar Cookies Recipe.

Cherry Coke Float Cupcakes with Chocolate Shell. White Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Cupcakes. My luggage finally joined me in Minnesota the other day. Tuesday, to be exact. That’s right, my luggage didn’t get to me until five days after I had already been visiting my sis and her family. I was not a happy camper. Luckily, and happily, I’ve had my nephews to distract me. We spent the last couple of days baking together, and it has been wonderful! Remember the other day when I said I got to buy some strawberries recently? Beautiful, bright, fresh, red strawberries.

I have a strange relationship with sweets.

recipe: two (exactly two!) chocolate cupcakes

I’m kind of obsessed with making them, but I’m not really that much into eating them. I don’t have a big sweet tooth (I’ll take wine and cheese over cookies almost any day of the week). And when I do get hit with a sweets craving, it’s usually short-lived. Like, if I bake a batch of something sweet, I usually take one bite of it and I’m done. And since I live alone, that usually means I’m left with a whole lot of something sweet on my hands. It has always been my dream to come up with a recipe that would bake just a teeny tiny something, just a single serving of a delicious homemade treat–just enough to scratch the itch and nothing more, nothing less. This seemed like an impossible dream, but I decided to give it a try. I believe this may be the greatest thing I have ever done in my life. First things first, don’t even bother getting out your measuring cups. While you’re at it, leave the mixing bowl in the cupboard too.
