S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies

Two Peas & Their Pod come up with the best cookie recipes ever. The proof? These delicious chocolate chip cookies that taste like s'mores - graham cracker (digestive biscuit) crumbs, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips are all mixed into the dough, making a lusciously flavoured and textured cookie. 

Malted Chocolate Cookies

I've tried this recipe before, using Ovaltine, and they were good, just not enough malt flavour. However I recently tried the same recipe again but used malted milk powder, and they were sooo malty and chocolaty! They are up there with the likes of Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies, and that's saying something. 

Cookie Dough Truffles

After receiving my copy of The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook, and trying five of the recipes within a three-day period, I can highly, highly recommend this book. It was the 50th addition to my shelf of baking books and this is the one I was most excited about. It's awesome. The cookie dough is insanely good - the best ever - and here it is dipped in chocolate. Now go buy the book, you won't regret it!

Bourbons

My sister and I used to eat bourbon biscuits all the time; I will forever associate them with the film 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' because that's when we would eat insane amounts of them. I recently bought Kate Shirazi's book 'Cookie Magic', which is filled with recipes for all the classics: custard creams, digestives, rich teas...and bourbons. They were so much more chocolaty than the ones I remember from my Harry-Potter-watching-days. Magic!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups

It's no secret that I love cookie dough...and cookies. But together? A whole new level of yummyness. Want to eat cookie dough but want baked cookies at the same time? Try a cookie cup, filled with cookie dough - it's immense. Chewy, gooey, chocolaty, and the best of both worlds. Shelly from Cookies & Cups is a genius. 

Chocolate Mudslide Cookies

Remember when I made Oatmeal Caramel Crumble Bars to get over failing the English prelim? Well, the exam was today. Let's just say I'll need at least three batches to recover. In the meantime let me tell you about  this insane chocolate cookie recipe from Cookie Madness. Chocoholics, I guarantee you will LOVE these cookies. Plus, the texture is so fudgy and mmmmm-y! As you can tell my brain is far too overworked to think of any decent adjectives. Anyway, I would even go as far as to say that the Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies have some competition! 


BTW: The recipe uses cake flour - make your own here but if you only want to make enough for this recipe, measure out the 1/4 cup flour and replace slightly less than 3/4 tbsp with cornflour. 

Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Cookie Bars

From Two Peas & Their Pod, this recipe is a recent favourite of mine. The cookie dough is delicious (no doubt I'll be making it in the future to eat straight from the bowl) but with the salted caramel, words can't describe the yummyness! Can you see the caramel oozing out of the middle? AARRGHHH! If you can wait until these bars are cool before inhaling them, you have serious skills in the art of self-control. 

Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups

Only having one mini-muffin pan has recently caused me a great deal of pain: I had to make HALF a batch of these delicious peanut-butter infused cookie dough cups. They were gone before I could take a better picture.  If I haven't made this clear already, I love cookie dough!! These were awesome, and I don't even like peanut butter! But beware - don't make a half batch if you can help it, make the full amount because they will be gone in a flash. 

Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Let's use me eating most of this before it was even cooled as proof of just how good it is. It's got everything in it; marshmallows, chocolate, maltesers and Ovalitine all contribute to a lusciously gooey, chewy texture and the awesome taste of malt, cookies and chocolate rolled into one. The picture you see above does not do these bars justice, so click on the link to the original recipe to see a much better one. 

Rocky Road Cookies

A friend of mine recently gave me a recipe for these cookies and I tried them immediately. I LOVED them. The cookie was sooo chocolaty and the marshmallows on top surpassed any gooeyness I've ever experienced before. A combination to die for. Let's just say I'll be making these on a regular basis from now on. 

Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Have you ever wanted to whip up a batch of cookie dough just to eat it straight from the bowl? Or have you been in the midst of making some, and decided you'd rather not have the long, torturing wait while they bake? This is a recipe for cookie dough lovers everywhere: a chocolate chip cake (which is just like cookie dough except being lighter to work as a cake), an egg-less cookie dough filling and a frosting which, yes you've guessed it, possesses that delicious cookie dough taste. If you've ever had Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream, you'll know what I'm talking about. The recipe is from one of my newest baking books, Making Cupcakes With Lola, from the owners of the famous London bakery. 

Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies

If you're looking for a cookie recipe that blows all the others out the water, you've just found it. These cookies consist of an insanely chocolaty dough, with milk chocolate AND white chocolate AND chopped oreos found throughout. With slightly crisp edges and lusciously soft centres, these cookies just raised the bar.

Rolo Chocolate Chip Cookies

 When browsing the awesome My Baking Addiction I came across a recipe that I could not ignore: Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. I know it's the third stuffed cookie recipe this month, and the second involving Rolos, but seriously, Rolos and Chocolate Chip Cookies? Can you blame me? The cookie dough is divine; you'll want to eat it straight from the bowl - not that I know from experience or anything... Even if you don't have rolos, they would be awesome on their on their own - but the rolos provide a chewy chocolaty caramel-y centre. That's right. Now go forth and make these cookies! 

S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Ever since making the Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies last week, I've been obsessed with stuffed cookies, being amazed at the endless possibilities of what you can put in a cookie. Browsing one of my favourite baking blogs, Brown Eyed Baker, I came across this recipe in which you stuff the cookies with s'mores! Marshmallows and chocolate are sandwiched between two bits of digestive biscuit and baked in a delicious cookie dough. The result? A cookie filled with the amazing gooeyness of melted marshmallows and chocolate that oozes from every bite. 

Double Chocolate Cookies

Have you ever had a cookie with the texture of a fudgy brownie inside, but with the slightly crispy edges of a classic cookie? And did this cookie happen to include milk chocolate chips to provide pockets of extra chocolaty awesomeness? If not, then today is your lucky day. But either way, I highly recommend these cookies for not just their taste, but texture too. Taken from the book "C'est fort un chocolat", which I bought in Paris, it has become a valued and regularly used recipe in my ever-expanding collection. 

And they're great with milk.

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Picture this: An oreo, smothered in chocolate chip cookie dough, then baked. Genius, right?

 Right. 

The combination works really well - a chewy chocolate chip cookie with pockets of yummy chocolate, with the contrasting textures of the oreo and the gooey bit inside! What's not to like? This recipe comes from Picky Palate where you'll also find step-by-step photos on how to make and assemble the cookies. 

Chocolate Chip Cookie & Oreo Brownies

If I had to choose my favourite brownie recipe, out of my entire collection - and there are hundreds - then this would be it. A chocolate chip cookie base is topped with whole oreos and luscious brownie. The oreos soften in the oven, creating one-third of the deliciousness, along with the rich, fudgy chocolate brownie and the crunchy, chocolate-laden cookie base. The ultimate brownie variation; a work of genius. Yum. I can't even express how much I love these brownies. 

Hazelnut Rolo Cookies

 Rolos are delicious: chewy caramel encased in smooth milk chocolate. But why not take it to the next level of indulgence - bake them in a hazelnut-studded chocolate cookie dough. Yes, you read correctly. They are equally nice cold than they are out the oven, but you can't beat the gooey caramel that floods into your mouth when they are warm...

Apricot Almond Cookies

Yesterday, I had a dilemma. My craving for cookies was colossal, but there was some dried apricots that needed using up. Then the "lightbulb" moment came: I rushed to my Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days book and impatiently flicked through the pages. This recipe had been on my mental 'to bake' list ever since I bought the book, and now, the one time I have apricots to use, it springs to the attention of my somewhat sieve-like memory. It was meant to be - I wasn't in any position to refuse fate, so I pulled on my apron and hat, and happily rescued the apricots from the fridge. 

This is a cookie with a lovely chewy texture with a flavour to match. You can vary their softness depending on their baking time - if you want a softer cookie, take them out just as they begin to turn golden brown. If you want a bit of outside crisp to accompany the chewy insides, wait until they are golden brown.

Oreo Cheesecake Truffles

When I saw this recipe on one of my favourite baking blogs, Brown Eyed Baker, I knew I had to try it. And I'm glad I did - the use of simple ingredients and an easy technique (crush, mix, dip) just makes the whole experience more enjoyable, and people will think you spent a lot more time and effort in making these than you actually did. The texture is smooth and silky, yet the illusion of a crunch is created with the taste of the oreos. And as my sister intelligently observed: "Hey...it tastes like cheesecake...and oreos!" These truffles would fit in at any party or special occasion, they could be given as a gift or eaten as a treat - whatever your excuse, just find one quick and make these.
