First, you need a package of these new Cookies and Creme drops from Hershey's. (They're fairly easy to find. I found a package at my local Walgreens on sale for $2.49). Speaking of which, I am a complete fan of shopping at Walgreens. If you pay attention to their ads you can get some super good deals. I really love that they let you combine their Walgreen's coupons with the regular coupons from the paper. For example, I buy Rice Krispies cereal a lot. A couple of weeks ago they had Rice Krispies on sale 2/$3. There was a Walgreen's coupon for $1 off and then I had another coupon for $1 off 2 boxes. I was able to get two boxes of Rice Krispies for $1. Now that's a good deal! (I'm really not trying to sell you on Walgreen's. I just wanted to share my excitement over the good deals I've been getting).
Cookies and Cream Cookies
recipe courtesy of Raina at The Garden of Yum(link above) who originally got it from Cookies and Cups
2 sticks butter (1 cup)
1 1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (special dark or regular)
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used regular chocolate chips)
12 oz. Hershey's Cookies and Creme drops (if you can't find these because they are a new item use coarsely chopped Cookies and Cream Kisses OR Hershey's Cookies and Creme Bars)
Preheat to 350
Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
Beat in eggs and vanilla.
On low, slowly beat in cocoa powder until well incorporated.
On low mix in your remaining dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt).
Fold in your Cookies and Creme drops and chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.
Drop by large tablespoonful on a parchment lined baking sheet.
I recommend under baking these. So bake for approx 12 minutes or until edges are set.
When done baking let cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to wire rack to finish cooling.

Thanks to Raina at The Garden of Yum for such a great recipe. These delicious cookies would satisfy any chocolate craving. The whole family loved them!

ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. I follow Raina's blog too. Did you meet her in person? If so, that is really cool.

Okay I definitely need to find those drops. The satisfaction of my stomach depends on it! The cookies look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we have the drops up here, but I know we have the candy bars. These are a must make, I love anything cookies and cream too. Thanks Kim!
ReplyDeleteKim, these cookies look so good. I'm going to have to find those candy drops. I love getting a good deal. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThey're building a Walgreens within walking distance of our house and now I am excited to go give them a try! These cookies pretty much look divine. I'm loving that cookies and cream filling!
ReplyDeleteMy son would flip over these. Cookies & cream anything is always what he picks. I doubt we have the drops yet (I live in the sticks--we don't have Walgreens either!). I'm well aware that we have the candy bars though. The Boy reminds me each time we go through the checkout line.
ReplyDeletethose cookies look drool worthy but let me tell you, I am a huge fan of shopping at Walgreens!!! I always spend too much though!
ReplyDeleteI'm with your daughter and the love of cookies and cream anything. These are luscious - deep chocolatey-brownie-cookie-concoction. I also have found grand deals at Walgreens. You never know where food-finds lurk.
ReplyDeleteOh my, sounds crazy good! I need to get in on some of those great Walgreen's deals :)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I gotta find these drops!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, I love cookies and cream anything! I've never seen those drops before - added to my grocery list!
ReplyDeletei've never thought to do food shopping at walgreens, but those are some killer deals! these look AMAZING, i love the candies that you use in them too.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why your daughter loves these little treats! I dont think we have those drops over here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good deal but damn, Kim! If I made a batch of those bad boys I may as well apply them directly to my ass....cause that's where the weight would go!
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it....I'm going for it!
What a fun cookie--love the little surprise in them. And I love finding a good deal too. We have a few Walgreens here but none very convenient for me yet.
ReplyDeleteA cookie with a hidden gem inside, very clever.
ReplyDeleteAnother treat! I'd be lovin' life in your home, Kim! I'm sure you have the happiest family on earth!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you liked them. They are amazing aren't they?! Thanks for the link back.
