			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oreos are my favorite store bought cookie. When I was pregnant with my first child, I sat and ate a bag of Oreos. Really. Dunked them in milk and enjoyed every minute of it. Never mind I weighed 202 when I gave birth. I am no where near 202 now nor have I attempted to eat a whole bag since. I rarely buy Oreos anymore but around the Holidays I came across them on Jessica&#8217;s blog <a href="http://www.howsweeteats.com/2009/11/29/oreo-balls/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+howsweeteats/smSp+(How+Sweet+It+Is)&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">How Sweet It Is</a>.  Visit her site! She has loads of yummy treats.</p>
<p>The ingredients are simple. Oreos and Cream Cheese. They super easy to make and so delicious!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SZJ1oPRaI/AAAAAAAAEV0/95rbVVJSX80/IMG_9822.JPG" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></p>
<p>One package Oreo&#8217;s and one 8 ounce bar of cream cheese. I used the food processor to blend them together.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SZKlm1-pI/AAAAAAAAEV8/jF6DLzAAfGg/IMG_9824.JPG" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></p>
<p>Hello. I love you.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SZLGEAerI/AAAAAAAAEWA/af8Mv1oCmWY/IMG_9827.JPG" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></p>
<p>Whip those Oreos into crumbs, then add the cream cheese. I cut the cream cheese into blocks first. The beer is not included in the recipe but it&#8217;s Blue Moon and quite refreshing while you are whipping up desserts. That&#8217;s my husband getting in on the Oreo action.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SemPZTzJI/AAAAAAAAEWM/yXUE-pVN_A0/IMG_9828.JPG" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></p>
<p>This is what the mixture will look like when it&#8217;s all blended together. Gooey Chocolate!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S0koHz4gPKI/AAAAAAAAEB8/luvBL5TuioM/IMG_6687.JPG" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>I rolled the Oreo&#8217;s into small balls and put them in the refrigerator for half an hour to cool. Once cooled I then dipped them into the Double Chocolate Flavor of a melted Ghirardelli Dipping Bar!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SZLQHrqII/AAAAAAAAEWE/qg3zzAlBX6M/IMG_9851.JPG" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>I was popping these lovelies in my mouth!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_vhymwHBNa7c/S3SZL0glvFI/AAAAAAAAEWI/lpdITpsddXI/IMG_9854.JPG" alt="" width="640" height="428" /></p>
<p>I topped them off with sprinkles and they were good to go! (The white balls in the back are a type of Spanish cookie&#8230;when translated into English =  Nun Farts&#8230;but that&#8217;s for another post)</p>
<p>These Oreo Truffles were off to a party and were a huge hit! All gone real quick. That&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done and it&#8217;s all good!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now what starts with the letter &#8220;C&#8221;?<br />
&#8220;Cookie&#8221; starts with &#8220;C&#8221;!<br />
Let&#8217;s think of other things that starts with &#8220;C&#8221;!<br />
Uh. . .Uh. . . Who cares about da other things?!</p>
<p>&#8220;C&#8221; is for Cookie that&#8217;s good enough for me,<br />
&#8220;C&#8221; is for cookie that&#8217;s good enough for me,<br />
Oh! cookie, cookie, cookie starts with &#8220;C&#8221;!  ~ Cookie Monster~ Sesame Street</p>
<p>Well, you know what else starts with the letter C? Chocolate! Yes Please. I had huge craving for chocolate on Monday so what better way to squish that craving then to whip up a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies! Years ago I bought the <a title="Cookie Book" href="http://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Fields-Best-Ever-Cookie/dp/0783552661" target="_blank">Mrs. Fields Best Ever Cookie Book</a>. Mrs. Fields knows about cookies so I used her famous Blue-Ribbon Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. The cookies are rich and chewy just the way we like them around this house. The recipe makes close to 3 1/2 dozen which means there are plenty to share&#8230;.or not&#8230;okay&#8230;share I will and I did.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/3904914831_02b6c3b941.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="348" /></p>
<p>Ingredients for this recipe.</p>
<p>2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour</p>
<p>1/2 teaspoon baking soda</p>
<p>1/4 teaspoon salt</p>
<p>1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar</p>
<p>1/2 cup granulated sugar</p>
<p>2 sticks salted butter, softened (I used unsalted butter and added an extra 1/4 teaspoon salt)</p>
<p>2 large eggs</p>
<p>2 teaspoons vanilla extract</p>
<p>12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2603/3904915163_61b70f4e47.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Combine flour, soda, and salt &#8211; Mix well with wire whisk</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3905695710_0fc4021171.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Why hello there brown sugar!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3905695938_b3b99423de.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Hello white sugar. I have a friend who is waiting to meet you!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3905696126_0538bc98b5.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Sugar&#8217;s meet and mix!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2473/3905696288_35f0062f37.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Throw two sticks of butter in the mix.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2549/3905696508_5587120180.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Butter meets sugar. At this point, please feel free to taste. So buttery and sugary. So good!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3904916443_744b54b03c.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Eggs and vanilla in the yummy butter, sugar mix.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2450/3905696976_a0976183f5.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Mix at medium speed until just blended.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3905697150_9a9d15a9d7.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Add the flour mixture.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2567/3904916951_fb3c9f5367.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></p>
<p>Add chocolate chips and mix until just barely mixed.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/3905697538_ab4374732f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Hello tasty morsels! You deserve a close up!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3905697766_0d9b8297fe.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>All mixed up and ready to eat by the spoonful!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/3905697978_6ced74c632.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="371" /></p>
<p>But no, really you should do this and drop by the tablespoon onto the cookie sheet.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3904917753_1f3df0023f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>While the cookies are baking in the 300 degree oven for 18-22 minutes, I start cleaning</p>
<p>up this mess!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3473/3905698410_3a1f6ba2bc.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Here is a look at the first batch and my first bite! or second bite? Where&#8217;s the milk?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2548/3904918161_5d45a619cf.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>All done and nicely stacked&#8230;.but not for long!</p>
<p>This is a simple recipe with rich results. Enjoy!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all good.</p>
