I had another homeschool mom remark that all my kids know how to bake. It’s true. I like to have my kids bake something for me when I’m responsible for bringing food to an event. They get the challenge, the experience and the compliments when they are recognized for their work. They also get to take part in learning about the gift of service through food. Besides, food is a love language, isn’t it?
My youngest daughter made these cookies from this recipe at Tasty Kitchen, a cooking site started by The Pioneer Woman. From my experience, these are no fail recipes.
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
- ½ cup white candy melts (or white chocolate chips), melted (optional)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese using a hand mixer until they are mixed well together.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and mix until combined completely.
- Add the flour and mix on low until the flour is combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into 1″ balls and roll in Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Place Oreo covered cookies onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are slightly puffed.
- Cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- Once cool, drizzle cookies with melted candy melts.
As you can tell I love desserts. Here are some of my favorites: Almost Like Candy Bars, Oreo Volcano Brownies, Apple Pie Crumb Bars,and Lemon Cream Pie.

These look amazing! I’ll have to try the recipe. And, you can never go wrong with the Pioneer Woman. Your daughter did a great job!
I have my own little bakery, so I know that instilling great baking skills is essential.

Thanks for stopping by. Actually, I don’t have my email subscription set up yet but you can follow via a reader (RSS link on my sidebar). Have a great day!
I think I might just have all these ingredients on hand and I was just thinking a cookie sure sounded good!
Hope the cookies turns out well for you. They are amazingly good!
Ahhh these look SOOO good! I LOVE oreos!
Try them! You’ll like them!
Oh, I could have one right now! Or two, or three…better not get anywhere near those
Oh my heavens, those look delicious! (drooling….)
Thank you, Ruth. The cookies are different in that you bite into a piece of chocolate in the center. I hope you will try the recipe!
These look so tasty! I’m not the biggest Oreo fan in general, but every now and then one hits the spot. I made some oreo cheesecake cupcakes last year that were only mediocre but these look even better!
We love Oreos at our house but these weren’t overwhelming if you’re not a huge fan. Your cupcakes sound good, but I understand when a recipe doesn’t measure up! Hope this one does!
Oh YUM! These look wonderful!

These look amazing.

Amazing the number of recipes I see with Oreos… What’s up with that??! What’s equally amazaing is that people seem to bake fabulous stuff with them… So fab in fact, that I’d like to invite you to come link yours up with us…. http://www.finecraftguild.com/party-35/ (or choose the halloween link-up party…
I guess Oreos are in fashion now! I don’t know, but these cookies were amazing!

These look sooo yummy! Thanx for sharing at THT!
You are very welcome and I thank you for stopping by my blog!
These look yummy! I TOTALLY agree about having kids help in the kitchen, or any task! Well done, I say! (partying with you at FMFPTY!) ~Amber
Hi, Amber! Teaching kids to cook and help in the kitchen pays off dividends in the future! It’s one thing I want to make sure my kids know how to do before they leave. Thanks for visiting my blog!
I love all things Oreo, I’m sure these would not disappoint! I love having the kids help in the kitchen too. They are still much too young to do it alone, but they will be more than ready when the time comes!
I’m glad you’re teaching your kids to cook and be comfortable in the kitchen. It does take a lot of patience and time but it is so worth it down the road!
Kuddos to your daughter! These look wonderful!
Thanks, Tanya. Teaching your kids to cook is so important! It takes a lot of patience, but it is well worth it when they’re older!
Those look and sound SO SO good!! Thanks for sharing! http://moresisterstuff.blogspot.com/
I’m glad you like them, and I hope you’ll make them soon! Blessings to you!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you can make and enjoy these cookies!
These look fantastic! Way to go teacher mom. Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Thanks so much, Kathryn! I link up every week and appreciate you hosting! Blessings!
Oh my, I feel like I gained 5 pounds just looking at these. lol Thanks for the recipe.
Rosemary, you can just eat a couple of these and be satisfied. Really. They are the perfect small cookie! Thanks for stopping by!
Yum, sounds great! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
Thank you, Jessi. Thanks for hosting each week!
These cookies look delicious. We also have a huge tradition of starting kids in the kitchen very early at our house, and cooking is part of our homeschool work quite often– we add it into math lessons and use it with our geography (for example, making tortillas homemade during a unit study on Mexico).
Just today, my 15 month old helped his grandma make cookies by helping pour the measured ingredients into the bowl and trying to stir them. The earlier you get kids doing (SAFE!) activities in the kitchen, the more likely they are to learn that service and language and get a real heart for it. Looking forward to trying out this yummy recipe!
You are a woman after my own heart, Jenni. It does take time to teach kids to cook, but it is well worth it! It is one of my goals for our homeschool, too. It hasn’t been easy and it’s possible in a mad dash but that’s what planning is for! I’m so glad you stopped by my blog and hope you’ll come back again!
Your cookies look and sound wonderful! I love it that my kids bake too. They take such pride in helping!
Kids in the kitchen are a wonderful thing if you can stand the mess and fuss! Well worth it, though, as they get older and can be a bigger help. Good for you to involve your kids!
So much chocolate! How can you go wrong with these?
No such thing as too much chocolate! Thank you for visiting my blog!
Holy Toledo those look yummy!! I love Oreos. And cheesecake. Oh my.
Thank you for linking up at the Wildly Original party!
