About a month ago, I happened across this recipe from
Brown Eyed Baker. I showed it to Raley and his eyes bugged out of his head. He asked right then for me to make them for his birthday treat at school.
The Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup Oreo crumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I was out so I skipped this step and they were fine). Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sugar and vanilla and mix until well-combined. Add the flour and mix on low.
Stir in the mini chips with a spatula. I added a little more than the recipe called for.
Get your crumbs ready. I blitzed some oreos in my food processor until crumby :)
Scoop cookie dough by spoonful and roll into a ball using your hands.
Drop cookie ball into crumbs and turn to coat.
Place on cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes per batch.
Cool in pan about 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
I was a little concerned about having enough cookies for Raley's class because the original recipe said it made one dozen cookies. I only had enough butter to double the recipe which would be 24 cookies but there are 35 kids in his class! I don't know if I made them small or just got lucky but we ended up with about 55 cookies. I sent 40 with Raley and we enjoyed the rest. He came home with orders from his teaching team of three teachers to tell me they were very good. SUCCESS!!
