Day 12 of my 12 days of cookies: Hurray! We made it to the end. Thanks for following along this month with my never ending cookie posts. Since my Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies were such a hit, I had to end the 12 days of cookies with another recipe that ended up being one of my favorites.. the chocolate version!

I saw these Oreos while walking through the cookie aisle in Target and had to get them because 1. they were on sale and 2. they were decorated with winter designs. I’m such a sucker for themed food.

You know that the last cookie of the 12 days has to be a good one. This one lives up to all my expectations and then some. I loved seeing a bit of the red cream peeking out of the cookies; it’s so festive! This is yet another chewy cookie that has a bit of a crunch from the Oreos. Recipe slightly adapted from Brown Eyed Baker, so you know it’s good.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season celebrating it with the people that you love. Merry Christmas!

Day 11 of my 12 days of cookies: I admit, there’s a whole lot of peanut butter going on in this year’s 12 days of cookies. Why? Perhaps those two giant sized family pack of Skippy at Costco was a bit too much for two people. Whoops.

I made these a while ago when I went wine tasting and everyone loved them. Maybe one day peanut butter and Nutella cookies will replace the cheese and crackers in wine tasting. If that were the case, I’d definitely go wine tasting a lot more. These cookies were sturdy, thick, and soft. They also had a bit of a crumb texture, but it’s just the right amount. Try not to swirl the Nutella in completely.. you want ribbons of it going through the dough. Recipe from Delightful Bitefuls.

I’m spending all day today putting together my annual holiday basket. I found the cutest boxes and wrapping from Crate and Barrel to put everything in. I’m going to have to lug everything with me back home since I’m only going to be home for such a short period of time that I don’t have time to bake there. Let’s hope I baked some sturdy cookies!

Day 10 of my 12 days of cookies: Chocolate on top of chocolate on top of chocolate… sometimes that’s all a girl needs in life. I was asked to bake cookies for a friend’s birthday and the only request was… you guessed it, chocolate. Since all my favorite cookies are made with a mixture of melting regular chocolate with dark cocoa powder, I figured this one fit the bill perfectly. The cookies had a flaky outside layer and a chewy inner layer. The amont of chocolate was enough to satisfy any chocolate craving. Recipe slightly adapted from Sweet and Savory Tooth.
