Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Blondies

DESSERTS!!!

It seriously must be “that” time of the month for me. And yes, I did just say that! :) I am craving, pinning and gaining weight all over looking at pictures of what I want to make to satisfy my “fat foodie” days.

The gloomy aspect outside isn’t helping with my dessert cravings either. Typically when it’s warm outside I have less cravings, but the colder it gets and the quicker winter approaches, I have my extra 5 pounds stored up for winter to help keep me warm. :)

Part of the weight gain comes from these amazing Snickerdoodle Blondies. They are incredibly moist and utterly satisfying for those days you simply need something sweet. Take the pan to the couch and enjoy every bite if that will make you feel better! :)

Ingredients:

3/4 cups butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
2 1/3 cup flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish. Set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).

Add in both sugars and beat another 2-3 minutes. (Scrap sides as needed)

Add in eggs and vanilla and cream together.

Scrap sides of the bowl and add in all dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl make the cinnamon mixture.

Place 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of the pan (reserving the rest) and sprinkle with 3/4 the cinnamon mixture.

Drop remainder of the dough into little chunks evenly across the top.

Sprinkle with remainder of the cinnamon mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Be prepared to be wowwed and devour.

We have enjoyed this cookie bar for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Super yummy if you are a pastry lover and a coffee lover.

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 1 June, 2014 None comments

I get asked for this recipe often– or shall I say, I get asked to make them often! :) They are probably the best cookies you will ever eat. I have substituted the dough for another recipe I make and this was an utter disaster. Using the original cookie dough recipe is important.

I am a ‘dough eater’ and always have been. As you have heard previously, I used to hide the dough from my sister but in the midst of hiding it, I would sneak spoonfuls for myself because it was so good. I figured I made the dough, I get to eat it. :) Having a son, I am trying to teach him it’s “icky” to eat something that isn’t cooked which in turn forces me to sneak bites from him as well, carrying on the family tradition. I don’t want to be a hypocrite but also do not want to feed my son raw eggs. I did pay the price for my hypocrisy as after I got the first batch out of the oven, I literally felt I was going to throw up. Not because I had eaten a large amount of raw egg but because I ate probably half the batch of cookie dough! Needless to say, my tummy was NOT happy with me for a good couple of hours.

That evening, I decided to transition to the fully cooked double stuffed chocolate chip cookie and was much happier. :)

Ingredients:

2 sticks (1 cup) softened butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 oz bag chocolate chips
1 pkg. Oreo cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a stand mixer cream butter alone for about a minute or until fully smooth. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar.

Beat until smooth making sure not to over beat the dough.

Add in eggs and vanilla.

Add flour, salt and baking soda.

Once dry mixer is fully incorporated stir in chocolate chips. You are now ready to prep your cookies for utter perfection.

Dough meets its maker- The Oreo.

This is the part you want to be sure you do not eat too much dough. If you love dough as I love dough, you may get a tummy ache afterwards. (This is the best dough ever)

On a cookie sheet place a small spoonful of dough and slightly flatten.

Place a cookie on top (I used vanilla cookies today but rotate between vanilla and Oreo).

Spoon another spoonful on top of the cookie and fold edges over until combined with the bottom. You may have to pick it up to help mold it together.

Once cookies are prepped, bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Once baked, cookies will be extra large. I cut them in half to see the beauty of the Oreo AND because they are so large you truly don’t need a full cookie every time you eat one. BUT if you are like me and eat two halves anyway, you will feel better about yourself as your portions seem smaller when eating “half” a cookie at a time. :)
