Big Deluxe

Somehow when I leave cookie dough in my fridge at home, it slowly disappears.

My sister has no idea how.

This Sunday I went home and found this in my fridge, alongside two packages of Pillsbury shape sugar cookies.

This could last a long time, even for me.

Lets just hope it lasts at home so I can use it…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Vodka?!

I don’t know how I feel about this.

When I say everything, I never considered vodka.

If it wasnt almost 1 a.m I’d be all over this.

Recipe from The Sweet Life.

Halloween Cookies

Pillsbury Ready To Bake shape sugar cookies are the best sugar cookies in the world.

I’m not sure why the center picture makes them taste better, but it does.

As good as they are, I figured some chocolate chip cookie dough could only make them better.

I used Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough, keepin it in the family.

Put it on the baking sheet as normal, and just pressed the sugar cookie square on top of the cookie dough.

Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Cookies

I blame my sister for getting me addicted to these things.

Trader Joes has them, ofcourse. Trader Joes has everything good.

As suggested, I tried them out in chocolate chip cookie dough. (Duh)

I seriously didn’t think they could come out this good.

Wine, Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Wine

My boyfriend’s family makes homemade wine, a lot of amazing homemade wine.

red wine grapes

This passed weekend we had the annual Wine Day party.

They start the wine making process and crush the grapes for next year. The rest of us watch, eating tons of food and drink great wines from the passed years.

This year they started with 2.5 tons of grapes (I did say a lot), so you can just imagine just how much amazing food and wine had to be enjoyed through that process. Really rough day.

wine bottle So what do you bring to this party?!

Cookies definitely.  Easy to eat without having to put down your wine glass, which no one wants to do.

Since Pretzel M&Ms worked so well, I decided to try out

Another cookie that could not be easier to make…

I just used a bag of UTZ pretzel stix, because I thought they were the right length.

And then I used Tollhouse cookie dough on some and Pillsbury cookie dough on others to see which came out better.

I just wrapped each pretzel stick in cookie dough, as thin as I could get it.

And then bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.

(I noticed that Toll House took longer to bake, and spread away from the pretzel more.  They are easy to fix back into shape with a spatula, still I would recommend using Pillsbury for this cookie.)

I feel like these need some sort of dipping sauce,

like peanut butter and Nutella…something.

I’ll work on that…

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had some red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting left over from a party.

chocolate chip cookie dough and cake

So I decided to experiment.

chocolate chip cookie ball

My first thought was cake balls, those amazing little things Starbucks sells on a stick.  I attempted them, wrapped in cookie dough of course, but the cake didn’t spread out with the dough so they fell apart.

When that didnt work, I just put a scoop of cake ontop of the Toll House cookie dough to bake.

And got perfectly red velvet infused chocolate chip cookies!  The icing and cake melts down into the cookie dough without burning or loosing taste.

I took about 3 slices worth of the cake

Pretzel M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

M&M chocolate chip cookies are always good, so I thought I’d try to make them even better and use Pretzel M&Ms.

They are bigger then regular M&Ms, but the cookies stayed in one piece and tasted amazing.

SO easy to make!

Cookie Dough and M&Ms

I just used Tollhouse cookie dough, and the pretzel M&Ms.

Takes about 25 minutes, and cost $12 (I bought the 36 oz tub)

Use about 2–4 M&Ms in each tablespoon of cookie dough on the baking sheet. (press the dough a little bit so the M&M is half way covered-they are fat)

M&M chocolate chip cookies

Bake for 15 min

Make sure you let them cool off and settle so they don’t fall apart.

Pretzel + chocolate in a cookie. Heaven.

…Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Original : The Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip cookie

oreo chocolate chip cookie

This cookie has become popular for obvious reasons.  I first found the idea on Picky Palate, a great blog for recipes that are easy to love.  I made my own batch of these cookies the college way, with Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough instead of homemade.  Still, they came out amazing and impressed anyone who tried them.

So I got to thinking, these cookies were simply too good to just stop at Oreos.

 

Just think of all the cookies we can shove into a chocolate chip cookie!

My first one,

The Nutter Butter Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Yeah…

You’ll start to notice I also love anything peanut butter.

nutter butter in chocolate chip cookie

 What Youll Need:

package of Nabisco Nutter Butter cookies

package of Pillsbury ready to bake chocolate chip cookie dough.

These came out amazing!  I was worried that the peanut butter filling in the nutter butter would melt out of the cookie, but it melted down perfectly.

So you end up with a big peanut butter chocolate chip cookie with a soft peanut butter bottom!

 Preheat the Oven at 350. 

wrapping cookie

Wrap each cookie entirely with cookie dough.

 Took me 2-3 squares of cookie dough for each cookie.

stuffed cookies on baking sheet

Place on baking sheet an inch 1/2 apart.

Bake for 15 min.

ENJOY!!!
