Your ingredients.

Combine your flour, baking soda, and salt.

Beat together your butter and sugars.

Add in the egg and the egg yolk, one at a time, until just combined. Add in the vanilla.

Mix in the flour until just combined, then stir in the Oreo cookies, the chocolate chips, and the white chocolate chips.

Place spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased and/or lined baking sheet, and bake at 325 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are just beginning to become golden around the edges.

Allow to cool completely and try to only eat one!

Print this recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate chips (whatever your preference)
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (not too crushed – use your hands, not a food processor; about 15-20 Oreos)

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (or 310 degrees F for convection). Grease and or line your cookie sheets.

2. Sift the flour, salt and baking soda together and set aside.

3. Mix the sugars and melted butter just until thoroughly mixed, then add egg, yolk and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the sifted ingredients and mix until just blended – don’t over beat!

4. Stir in the Oreo chunk, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips by hand. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased and/or lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies and heat of your oven. The edges of the cookies should just start to be turning golden.

5. Leave them on the cookie sheet to cool a bit when removed from the oven (this is important as they fall apart if you move them too quickly). Once they cool a few minutes, remove the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Makes 15-20 cookies, depending on their size.

Things certainly have gotten interesting here lately.  With the future unsure and my heart telling me that I want to stay here, and have everything stay the same.  If there's anything I hate, it's change.  Change may be coming, and it's not just a little bit of it.  It's a lot of it!  At this point I don't feel comfortable in elaborating, but I feel as though I need to say something or otherwise I will burst.  I typically pride myself on being a free thinker, and not a follower.  Mostly because I've seen what can happen when you let something that sounds so silly, make you do unusual things.  And this may be where my gut wrenching struggle comes in.  Do I let go of all I thought was right and safe, or do I give a new experience a try?  It isn't something you can easily come back to, but it's life altering and almost to the point of permanent.  I know life isn't made of easy decisions, but I don't know if my husband or I are clear enough thinkers to allow ourselves to make one of this magnitude.  I guess you'll never know if something was a bad decision unless you try...  I'm struggling to find my way in all of this, but I guess what happens will happen.

Clear eyes

Don't let the title fool you, I do have me some itchy eyes today.  I haven't blogged in quite some time now.  This Summer has proven to be even more busy than I thought it would.  I have had something to do every weekend, and almost every day of the weekend we have plans.  Most of it has been here in town, but I did get a chance to go visit my sister in-law for a weekend by myself.  Mostly my hubby has been busy working his full time job, and working at his master's program internship.  We don't usually get to see each other much during the week, but I'm ok with that as long as it's to complete his masters degree.  Week days are just as busy as the weekends, but mostly they are spent by making dinner and working out.  The working out has really paid off for me so far.  Although the past month or so has been spent relosing the same 3 lbs.  But I think I might have finally broke that barrier.  I'm really excited about the weight loss I'm expierencing, as well as the thought of buying new clothes! 
Work has proved to be just as busy as I thought it would be for this time of year.  Especially when you have a co-worker that's less than stellar.  I didn't know coming in almost 30 minutes late everyday was something you could do and not get fired.  I also didn't know that you could take an hour lunch everyday when you only work six hours a day.  Part time work must be great!  Apparently this person doesn't care, because it's been this way since she's worked here and no one has said anything to her to mend the problem.  Needless to say if I had known I could do that to get away with it I would have stuck to part time work!
