Cookies and Cream Cookies
One of my favorite ways to invent recipes is to browse all the food I have and get inspired by a specific fun item. A few days ago when I was doing this, I found two sources of inspiration: a Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Crème bar and Cookies and Cream Chex Mix. I was in a cookie mood, so I decided to melt the Hershey’s cookies ‘n’ crème bar, add white and semisweet chocolate chips, and then coat the dough and finished cookies in a mixture of the Cookies and Cream Chex Mix, Powdered Sugar, and Hot Chocolate Mix. This all may sound a bit overwhelming, but I assure you the final product is just the right amount of whelming!
For cookies:
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients
- Once dough is combined, chill in freezer for 30 minutes
- Roll into 1-inch balls and roll balls into coating (will have some leftover)
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, then let cool
- While the cookies are in the oven,
- Once cooled, dip cookies into the coating again!
- Enjoy!
If I've learned anything from making these cookies and similar baking experiments, it is that adding tasty sweets to other tasty sweets always leads to tastier sweets.
So, combine goodness to make more net goodness in the world…and when in doubt, bake!
