I’ve been on some kind of weird shoe kick lately. I mean, they say a girl can’t have too many pairs of shoes, but I shouldn’t really fall into that category because the only pairs of shoes you can see on me on a regular basis are my black $5 Old Navy flip flops. Yeah, I’m not so much of a “dressy” professional. I work for the government, we dress mediocre. Some people come into the office in Batman pajama pants. NO JOKE. If you want to see hilarity when it comes to “casual Friday’s,” you should come visit me at work. Never ceases to amaze me what goes through people’s minds when Friday rolls around and they decide to show up in pajamas or JORTS. I wish I could make this up.
I’m like a shoe fiend lately because do you know how hard it is to find the perfect purple shoe? I’m trying to find “the one” for my wedding day (I shouldn’t kid myself, I really will probably only have them on for 0.02 seconds and then throw white flip flops on so why am I even bothering with this hunt? I think it’s a fun challenge). In the midst of “finding the one,” I just so happened to have stumbled across many other shoes that are totally not for the occasion but are more for the “omg these are SOOO cute” occasion.
Long story, short: I bought 3 pairs of platform wedges at Target this past weekend. I bought one pair in the store and proceeded to run home and get online to see what other colors they had online and ordered 2 more. Oh, and you know what? Apparently they said they shipped it out on Sunday but I checked tracking today and UPS says they haven’t even received the package from them and only a label has been created.
I’m a tad bit worried because those wedges are SEXY. And my feetsies want them, now! I hope they aren’t lost (I like how I’m totally jumping to conclusions right now – what did we say about anxiety last week? ha).
Oh, and I still have not found “the shoes” for my wedding. Hilarious. Bought 3 pairs of shoes that deem useless for my big day. Oh well :) I have cute shoes to wear to work now, right?
Ok, so these cookies. It’s no secret that I love Oreo’s in virtually any dessert. I’m happily addicted to cookies & creme milkshakes (recipe coming soon), I love Oreo cheesecake bars, I love cookies & creme rice krispies, and now, I’m in love with Oreo cheesecake COOKIES. There’s a subtle hint of cheesecake after the first few bites but then you’re hit with the Oreo’s and the mini chocolate chips hidden in the batter. Oh my, this cookie is a definite winner and I LOVE how it’s encrusted in Oreo cookie crumbs.
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 ounces (85 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) flour
- ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (160 g) crushed Oreo's, it took about roughly 10 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they're fine crumbs. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well incorporated.
- Gently mix in the flour and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Let chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough and put it in your hands to roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the Oreo crumbs and cover the dough well.
- Place on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart, and repeat until all the dough has been used up.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes on the middle rack – do not do upper rack! (I had to bake mine for longer because my balls were a lot bigger so it took 20 minutes to bake).
- Remove from oven when you see that the edges are getting browned. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
you have PLENTY of time to find ‘the’ shoes. calm down lol. and I’m sure the shoes aren’t lost. you’re cracking me up because you’re way worse than me and I didn’t think that was humanly possible ;) and seriously can you pretty please start snapping secret IG pics of your coworkers in their strange getups?
I’m amazed at how much cute stuff is at Target – I found a pair of cute gray, velvet wedges for $20 and suede wedge booties for around $25. It’s hard to resist when the prices are so good!
Also, as soon as you give us that cookies and creme shake recipe, I want to make these cookies and blend one into the shake. Dessert win.
I need these right now :)
Um…these cookies look fab! I love anything oreo!
And also…I work for gov’t too. I agree…I love the looser dress code, and I get a real kick out of casual Fridays and even better, employee appreciation week when they have dress down “team spirit day”. Some people paint their face in their favorite football team’s colors for that work day. It’s a little intense. LOL!
Oh I need these cookies in my life! And more shoes, of course.
Youuuuu are the sunshine of my life. Seriously, that’s what comes to mind after reading this recipe since cookies ‘n’ cream is tied with peanut butter and chocolate as literally my favorite combo evaaaaar.
Yum.
Is it possible to do it without the mini chocolate chips? Looks great, will be making them tonight! I have everything except the chocolate chips.
Yes, you can absolutely do it without mini chocolate chips :)
And oh yeah, love the cookies. duh.
I hate when you check stuff you’ve ordered and there is no shipping label created yet. STOP teasing! Send me notification when they are on their way, bc I will obsess over them until they are on the UPS truck out for delivery.
I wish you linked to the purple wedges! I feel like I might need them ;)
Here you go girl – http://www.target.com/p/women-s-mossimo-payton-wedge-pump-assorted-colors/-/A-14044550, they’re on sale for $10 ;)
I love this small batch!
I’m the same way–not much of a shoe person, then bam! I see some I like and order them in every color!
