Doughnuts/Donuts

Doughnuts day today! Again! We tried to make Saturday doughnuts day and headed out to go to Krispy Kreme only to find out that it wasn't open yet! So I comforted myself with a milkshake (with Peanut M&Ms in it!) and tried to forget about it... Rumour is that there are fresh doughnuts being made in a stall in town so me and my man are going to have a look today and hopefully get some. They will just be plain ones though but they're fabulous too.

Here we go! Very fudgy doubke chocolate cookies with chocolate chips and crushed oreo biscuits. Can't go wrong with biscuits IN COOKIES!
I halved the recipe below and got 16 medium sized cookies, just enough to fill a cookie tin.

Double Fudge Oreo Crunch Cookies

makes about 30 cookies

  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 1 packet/roll of Oreos)

Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and crushed oreos. Refrigerate dough for 2-4 hours (or more/overnight). When ready to bake, preheat oven to 180, roll into balls or scoop with an ice cream scooper and set on baking sheet.

Bake at 180 (Celcius) for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely (on a rack).

Enjoy!
