When I was little, I would love coming home from school to find my Mom had made us a special treat. I am definitely a food lover and somehow I really felt loved when cookies, or brownies or some other goody was waiting for me. Now that I am a mom, I love to make a special treat on Fridays for my girls to come home to. Sure, it is usually something sugary, but it's a treat. I usually make it on Fridays as a little celebration - "YEAH!! You survived school for the week"! -- Something to look forward too. My husband has been on a cookie kick lately, so it has been a lot of cookies the last few weeks. I was having trouble coming up with a cookie idea, so I asked my youngest daughter what she would like this time around. One of her favorite candy bars is cookies and cream (she is a big white chocolate fan - not so much any other chocolate though). She asked for a cookies and cream cookie. So I decided to make cookies with cookies! Why not! So here goes...
Cookies and Cream Cookies
makes 4 dozenIngredients
1 1/2 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer
2 Tbsp water
1 cup vegan butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl whisk together the egg replacer and the water and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg replacer mixture and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add this mixture into the dough to make it nice and thick. Add the crushed Oreo cookies and stir in well. I used my hands to really incorporate the Oreos - so their weren't crumbs lying on the bottom of the bowl.
Roll dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and place on an ungreased, nonstick baking sheet about 2 inches apart. You can use parchment paper for a quicker clean up if you'd like! Bake for about 11-12 minutes, or until they start to turn a golden color around the edges. Let cool on cookie sheet for about 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
