Oreo Chunk Cookies
"I'm sure I'm not the first genius to devise this concoction, but please let me believe I am. I used, with some modifications, recipe #76416 chocolate chip cookie base, which is a great cookie btw. I thought these
were darn good (even though I dislike using pre-packaged foods to bake with!)"

I made these for my 2007 christmas cookie platters, and im not sorry i tried. A word to the wise for anyone else who wishes to make these, useing a whole package of oreo cookies will leave you with not enough dough for the cookies, i used two packages from a sams multi pack (about 2/3 of a regular package)and was streaching it twards the end. Ah-Lia picked a very good bake time, do not put them in for any extra, they are done they just dont look it and wont spread out too much depending on how big you make them, but if you wait for them to cool and flip them over its a golden brown all across the bottom and they firm up. A nice addition would be maybe some sweetened or unsweetened cocoa powder to make them chocolate oreo chunk but i like them just how they are, will be making them again for sure. My yeils was about 5 dozen, but i made them alittle on the smaller side. Pictures to come once i assemble my trays

I love to cook and bake. Sugar is my crack and I lay awake at night concocting dessert recipes. If I had to do "it" all over again, I might become a pastry chef instead of a counselor. Cooking and baking keep me going to the gym and going to the gym gives me a hall pass to cook and bake, so it all works out! I think cooking and baking from scratch is starting to be a lost art and that makes me sad.
