Monster Cookies aka Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies: Toronto Food Photography

Whoa nelly! These cookies are super sweet and rich! I couldn’t even finish mine, but Noah was happy to finish mine up. My daughter, and a friend, grabbed a couple on the way out the door, will have to hear her consensus before I decide whether we’ll bake them again (I know it’s a thumbs up from my son, he wanted to eat another one!). (Recipe posted after the photos.)

(All of the following were shot with the Canon 1DMkIV and the lensbaby composer lens.)

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (we used half whole wheat/half nutri-grain flour)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 package Oreo cookies
  • Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.

    Place one scoop of dough on the top of an Oreo and once scoop underneath it. Use your (clean) hands to mold the dough around the Oreo so that there are no holes. Place on cookie sheet and repeat until you have used up all the cookie dough. (We found the dough too soft and sticky to use right after mixing, so refrigerated it for a while before making the first batch.)

    Bake for 9 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

    BTW, the images do not show how LARGE these cookies are. They really are three cookies in one, two chocolate chip cookies + the Oreo cookie. Enjoy!

    Holiday Baking 2010 #2

    Here’s the last of the holiday baking for this year! Noah helped me decorate, and Alice kept watch, then we packaged them up for delivery:

    Later I discovered Alice in one of her new favourite snoozing spots, tucked in among napkins and plates in the sideboard in the kitchen! (Thankgoodness she is toilet trained, so I don’t need to worry about dirty paws from a litter box!) Snoozing cats are so adorable, aren’t they?

    Holiday Baking 2010

    Just like last year, the holiday baking has begun! We have a bit more baking to do this weekend, but here are the first two cookie batches and links to the recipes. Enjoy!

    Decided to simplify this year and made Soft and Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies rather then the Gingerbread we did last year. They are delicious! (Recipe can be found here.)

    These Hot Chocolate Cookies are very yummy! I made mine a bit smaller then the original recipe, but they worked out just fine at this size:

    Keeping with the baking theme, here are a few images of Rebecca’s birthday cake this year:
