We made it to Friday! What are you doing for the long weekend? Do you have any fun Easter plans? I plan on enjoying the spring sunshine with some long, rambling walks, testing a few new recipes, and eating far too much Easter candy on Sunday morning. Today’s recipe is another decadent chocolate dessert (because after last Friday’s Small-batch Chocolate Cupcakes, of course we needed even more chocolate), Small-batch Chocolate Cookies With Oreos and Andes. These things first came about a few weeks ago when I was shooting the video for my Small-batch Buckeye Brownie Cookies and I had some leftover cookie dough, some Oreos, some Andes, and a dream, and the result was these magical little (giant) babies.
Guys, these cookies are sooooooooo good. The cookie base is my fav chocolate brownie cookie (originally seen in my Mini Hot Chocolate Cookies), which is super rich and fudgy since it’s made with melted chocolate in the dough, and the Andes mints give them just the right level of minty flavor that’s not too overwhelming. And I know it might sound weird to chop up an Oreo cookie and put it in another cookie, but trust me, it’s the best and tastiest sort of weird. This small-batch recipe makes a half dozen nice hefty cookies. One will definitely satisfy your chocolate craving. You can share the leftovers if you are feeling generous (not going to lie, I gave away most of the batch from these photos and I REGRET it) or hoard them (recommended) and keep them in the freezer. Like my Small-batch Chocolate Chip Cookies, they freeze really well and are great cold, which makes them a pretty perfect cookie choice considering summer is not too far off.
Small-batch Chocolate Cookies Recipe Notes
Because of the melted chocolate in the recipe, the cookie dough looks more like brownie batter before chilling and like fudge after. Don’t worry, it’s supposed to look like that. 😉 Please note the lower-than-usual baking temperature of 325°! If your oven is too hot the cookies will melt into puddles. If you don’t keep Oreos stocked, no need to buy a big package in the snack aisle (unless you want to!). Grab a six-pack or one of the little tubs of minis in the checkout lane.
