New Logo!

 

My new logo (and brand name) is finally done.

It may not be as catchy as other brand names BUT I knew I had to settle with something that’s meaningful to me. :)

I’m pleased with how it turned out. I hope you are, too! :D

cupcake project | 14: chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes.

Whenever I feel stumped at work, and no pep talk works, I try to steal a few minutes from my schedule to check on my favorite blogs.

That’s what I did a few days ago. I was bored and I still had 3 hours of work to do. I found another gem of a recipe from RecipeGirl and knew immediately that I had to bake it before I leave for work the next day.

 

Look at that cookie dough!

I have long wanted to make cookie dough cupcakes but the process always takes me aback. It seems so tedious that I put it off over and over. I was beyond excited when I read through Lori’s recipe and found it easy and fast.

I was also particularly fond of the way the cupcakes are prepared – in a blender! I followed the recipe to a T, but I think I’ll do away with the blender next time. It’s messier than I initially thought.

They were absolutely divine and sinful. If you can put those two words in a sentence… Then it must be really good. ;)

triple chocolate oreo chunk cookies.

Today, I decided to deviate from the usual.

I stopped myself from baking another cake or cupcake. Which was really hard since I wanted to try this recipe so bad.

So restrain myself, I did. And then I realized I also wanted to try a new cookie recipe I found the other day.

What do you say about the combination of cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped white chocolate and crushed Oreo cookies? I say, “I die!”

The moment I laid my eyes on the mouth-watering photos, I couldn’t resist baking them.

And what a good time it was since I had all the ingredients in my kitchen. Throw caution to the wind and bake, yes. That’s what you do when you see something as delicious as this. If I can eat it off my monitor, I would. Heh.

 

I only realized now that thetext I placed on the photos are so incorrect. It should've been CHUNK insteadof CRUNCH. All the while I was wondering why I couldn't find the"crunch" in these cookies. I had it all wrong. Bwahaha.

 

I found the screenshot of the recipe photo via Lori yesterday. The next minute, I found myself searching Google for the recipe. Thank God for technology, within seconds I found the recipe on Michelle's site.

Side note: Lori is hosting a giveaway of Cookie Cravings, the e-cookbook where this recipe is

Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies
Recipe adapted from Brown Eyed Baker
Original from Two Peas and their Pod

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped white chocolate
1 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped Oreo cookies

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 

In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.Set aside. 

With a mixer, cream butter and sugars together until smooth. Add in eggs, one at a time. Next, add in vanilla extract. Mix until blended.

Slowly add flour mixture to sugar mixture and mix until flour disappears. Stir in chocolate chunks and Oreos.

Scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. I use a small scooper, around 1-inch in size since I am not a fan of big cookies. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Don't over bake. 

Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Move to a cooling rack and cool completely.

** I halved the recipe and got around 25-30 medium-sized cookies.
