Double Chocolate Oreo Cookies Recipe
In an effort to make a good nearly-first impression our new group of teenagers, I wanted a WOW cookie–something that everyone would LOVE. Raisins, Peanut butter, and Oatmeal are all a bit polarizing, but I figured I couldn’t go wrong with Chocolate plus Oreos. These cookies came out oh-so-fudgy and delicious. My husband said, “These […]
