"I made THIS and there is no milk in the house?! Seriously...?!"

I got started blogging a little over a year ago after stumbling upon the foodie blog, Kacey's Kitchen. Not only is she all around awesome (the girl does roller derby for goodness sake!), Kacey's blog is engaging, fun to read, and effing hilarious!!! She even emailed me back after I sent her a quick admiring note instead of treating me like the food blog creeper I am WOO HOO!!! The name of my blog is actually a tribute to Kacey and her food bloggy awesomeness....not just a lack of creativity FYI.... ;)

As of the writing of this post, her latest entry was something that was so mind blowing, I had to attempt it the first chance I got. To quote from Kacey:

Do you need something to completely blow your co-workers minds? Do you need to leave your friends in a sugar coma for a week? Do you need a dessert that is simple to make??? Hell yeah you do!!!

Go forth and make these, now. Just be sure to have a gallon of milk on hand and a nice cozy spot to nap after you've pigged out on them!

Yes, yes, and yes!

Kacey's Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 sticks softened butter
• 3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 Cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 10 oz bag chocolate chips
• 1 bag Oreo Cookies, (Like Kacey, I used the double stuff -- go big or go home!!!)   

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

In a stand or electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until well combined. I cut my butter into chunks and let them sit until they were room temperature. If you've read my other baking post...you know that I've learned this lesson the hard way!

Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined. In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda (I sifted mine just to be sure).

Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.

 

Using a cookie scoop, take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an Oreo Cookie. Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of Oreo Cookie. Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until Oreo Cookie is enclosed with dough.

Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes (mine were perfect at 10min) or until cookies are baked to your liking.

Look at him...TAUNTING ME with the minutes left to bake!!! *Shakes fist!!!*

Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Serve with a tall glass of milk, enjoy!

And yes, the title of this blog entry is true. Can you believe I don't have any milk in the house?! With this kind of karma, you'd think that I kicked a puppy/made a child cry on purpose/cut in front of a little old lady in the grocery store line or something! To put the universe into balance again, I am bringing these to share with my coworkers tomorrow...lucky them right?!

P.S. As an added bonus, I have a KILLER chocolate cookie recipe now! EEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Happy eating!!!
