lovintheoven



You have probably tried the oreo cookies you can make with a cake mix but what about oreo cookies with oreos AND chocolate chips in them.... I got your attention right ;)

1 stick softened butter
6 Tablespoons sugar
6 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt*
11 broken pieces Oreo Cookies
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter, and sugars until well combined. Add egg and vanilla until mixed well.
Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl, stir to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients then stir in oreos and chocolate chips until just combined.
With a medium cookie scoop, scoop onto baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked, but still soft. Let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.


* I would use less salt they seemed a little salty.

Restaurant style salsa

Pioneer Woman

My family is a very tight family. We love to be together. We play ball together, we watch games together, we do everything together. One thing that we love is to play games together. When we play we have to have snacks. One of our favorite snacks is SALSA!! Last Sunday my son and I decided we wanted to make salsa and we didn't have all the ingredients for our normal salsa so we looked up other recipes and came across this one. We happened to have all the ingredients for this one and so my boys and I whipped it up. It was so easy and so dang good we made another batch that same day. This recipe is definitely a keeper.


1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
¼ cups Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin
1/4 teaspoons Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cumin
1/2 cup Cilantro (more To Taste!)
1/2 whole Lime Juice


Note: this is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.

Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you’d like—I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.

Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.
