Oreo & Cookie Dough Brownies Recipe

Oreo & Cookie Dough Brownies Recipe, these brownies will have you come back for more, Oreo Cookies, Cocoa Butter Spread, White Chocolate M&M's, to name a few of the tasty ingredients.
Hola Amigos! A few days ago looking for tips on how to bake the best brownies and  I found  a lot of good recipes but one site talked about the criteria of a good brownie,  taste, level of difficulty and creativity. I agree, I like my brownies tasty, easy to bake and with a twist. That's how I came up with this recipe, which is nothing but a combination of all the good things I like in a brownie, in just one batch.
I like Original brownies...nothing but chocolate and more chocolate! Heated up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream..yum! My element of creativity, a layer of Trader Joe's Cocoa Almond Spread! I love that stuff...do I dare say, more than Nutella?..please don't hate me now, lol


My hubs likes his frozen, this is his batch, topped with a white chocolate pudding glaze (lots of it) to go along with the white chocolate M&M's in every bite of the brownie!


The kids like their with the works, and I mean "the works" mini oreos, melted chocolate and caramel and more M&M goodness! Pass the milk!

Oreo & Cookie Dough Brownies Recipe, what is not to love about a brownie with cookie dough, cocoa butter spread and white chocolate M&M's to name a few of it's ingredients! Delicious!

So as you can see..you can make your whole family happy with only one batch of brownies by adding a few ingredients and a Pinch of Love,  turning your everyday brownie into the best brownies ever!

Besitos,
Lizy

Lay your cookie dough on the parchment paper shaping it into the baking pan. 
Spread the Cocoa Butter or Nutella on the cookie dough, this would be the "cement' for the Oreo Cookie rows to come. 
Place Oreo cookies on rows on top of the Cocoa Butter. About 5 per row until your baking pan is covered with the Oreo cookies.
Drop your M&M's trying to fill in the Oreo gaps with the candy. 
Prepare the box brownie mix according to the instructions on the box.
Pour in your mold and bake for 40-45 minutes, until your toothpick comes out clean
Remove from oven and once your brownies have cooled, lift  the entire batch from the pan  by the parchment paper and cut into squares. Decorate and enjoy.

Hola Amigos! Sharing this delicious Chocolate Malt with you this evening after a series of technical difficulties with the original post!

I would like to dedicate it to a dear lady blogger, Miss Janet Blue at The Cat on my Head. She is the author of this lovely blog where she shares the adventures of her gang of kitties with a beautiful and engaging narrative! There is always something new and exciting at her blog, as it usually is when you have a few furry animals getting into all sorts of mischief! The little furry guys love visitors, so stop by and tell them I said Hi! Miss Blue loves malts! Chocolate malt used to be her favorite while in college! I hope she enjoys this one!

Chocolate Milk

 I make mine using tables of Chocolate from Ireland. Kind of pricey but worth every drop!

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

My Very First Cookie
Well it was time I guess...for me to bake my first cookie...and boy, did a bake a Big One! I didn't want to risk it by baking individual ones, or fancy shaped glazed ones, pretty but way high level for this beginner, so I played it safe, went to dear ol' auntie Martha Stewart and tried her recipe, I mean...coming from Martha is gotta work right?...and It did! With of course a little tweak here and there, so this is what worked for me, not quite Martha's but it worked.
Here is the recipe for this giant Cookie!

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie


Your favorite Seasoned Skillet...mine weighs a ton! I need to pick it up with both hands!

2 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1 Large Egg
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cup of Mixed Chocolate Chips, I had white, semi-sweet, sweet and a few M&M's

 Heat your oven at 350 degrees. In a bowl mix dry ingredients. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars for about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until they fully mixed.
Add flour mixture and mix until everything is combined. Add chocolate chips.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until edges are brown and cookie golden.
I baked mine for 35 minutes because I like my cookies on the soft side.




How do you like your cookies...
With Ice Cream?

With Milk?

Or you just dig in and enjoy?
It was a hit, and I have pictures to show, but out of fear for the privacy of my little one I would just tell you it was little fingers licking good!

No matter how you choose to enjoy your cookie when you make it remember to add a Pinch of Love!
Thank You for coming today to see and "virtually" taste my first baked cookie ever! Yeah!


Besitos,
Lizy
