• remaking the oreo

    I love Oreo cookies.  At any given time you can find at least 1 package in my pantry…right now I have the original variety and the new S’more variety.   PS… the s’more options is so, so good, especially for the summer. As much as I love the Oreo cookie I also love incorporating this favorite into cookies, pies and bars…today we are all about the cookie. If you have spent very much time here you know I love cookies…and I make a lot of cookies for The Hubby, my family & friends.  One the years I have made everything form a traditional chocolate chip cookies (this is our favorite…
