Krack Kookies

Once upon a time, I had a baking blog. Once upon another time, I made blogs. I guess a good welcome back would be to post an oldie but goodie from that blog from years past. Enjoy :)

I modified this recipe from Lovintheoven.com. So here we go:
















Mint Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies Revamped
*This is double the recipe given in the link and this made... a lot of cookies so halve this if you want a normal batch and changes are made in italics.

2 stick softened butter

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 egg
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
22 frozen sliced pieces of Mint Oreo Cookies
2 cups chocolate chips (preferably dark or semi-sweet)

Preparation:

1. Let butter come to slightly under room temperature. I'd suggest taking the butter out about half an hour to an hour before baking.

2. Put the oreo cookies in the freezer at least half an hour before baking.

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Take them out of the freezer, and slice them (gently) into sixths. Discard any small crumbs (nom nom!) because crumbs will make your cookie a grayish tint.

2. Cream butter, and sugars until well combined in a large bowl. *I recommend doing this by hand with a spatula to create a fluffier texture. Do not over-beat if using a hand mixer! Add egg and vanilla until mixed well.

2. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl, stir to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients (in thirds) and stir in oreos and chocolate chips until just combined careful enough not to break the oreos. *Do not overwork the dough!

3. Scoop about half a golfball-size piece of dough onto a well-oiled (or Pam'ed) baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes until slightly golden brown on the sides. *The cookies should look and feel like they're underbaked. Let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack (if you can resist it!).
