Ah, cookies. I just can’t get enough of you…
Take today, for example. I find this cute little store called Choices Market. It looked like a smaller version of Whole Foods, selling mostly natural and organic foods. But what do I do when I step in the door?
Yup, you guessed it. I bypassed the fruits and vegetables, past the beans and quinoa, and buy myself some cookies. And not the natural, organic cookies they are adding extra signs to attract your attention so that you’ll buy those. Nope, I go and buy the oreos.
On my way out, I remember my first trip to Whole Foods. I bought some ice cream, a huge muffin and a cake. I am not doing these fantastic stores justice. The cashiers probably think I’m a girl who is permanently getting over a breakup.
But as I walked out the door of that super cute store, I looked at this box of oreos in my hand and think “really? Cookies?”
The thing is, I get really guilty when I buy cookies. I mean, I can (and have) make cookies that far outshine any cookie I can buy in store. Take the Chocolate Peanut Butter Filled Cookies I made for my friend’s birthday. I gave them to him, and he only shared one with his friend and ate the rest. Or the Swedish Tea Cookies. They were a huge hit to say the least.
So to help me feel less guilty about buying cookies, I also made cookies…WITH the cookies I just bought. Yeah..think about that.
These tuned out chocolate-y, crunchy, soft…all at the same time. Even though (sadly) no one could guess my secret ingredient, they were a huge hit. I was even asked to make them again sometime. I rarely make the same thing twice, but these cookies might get the exception.

Hahah. That happens to me too! But, I seriously can't help myself around oreos. 😛 These look delicious! Gotta love cookies in cookies, right?
Love cookies in cookies. And I don't make things twice very often but this might be one I would!
Oreos are my husband's all time favorite cookie. Wait until he sees this….
Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Oh Wow! These not only look yummilicious but sounds good with OREOs! Heavenly!
Me , three lol So last time , I've seen this Chips Ahoy chunky chocolate chip at our local market here and can't resist , so I bought a pack . Note that I haven't bought any cookies since I've started making them at home . Yeah , there's no way that store-bought cookies can compete to the ones we made at home ;D
