Oreo Stuffed Cookie Jars and BlogHer Food, Atlanta
Travel, Uncategorized | Tags: BlogHer Food Conference 2011
I was so excited to bring one of these little Oreo Stuffed Cookie Jars to Amanda last week during out trip to Atlanta for the BlogHer Food Conference. I wrapped it nicely in my suitcase and when I opened my suitcase my little jar was broken!! I was devastated, but luckily we had plenty of treats over the weekend that made up for it 
It’s basically the same recipe as my Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies just layered nicely in little jars.
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
1 Cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 oz bag chocolate chips
1 bag Oreo Cookies, I used the double stuff
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined. Using a cookie scoop a large scoop of dough into the bottom of each mason jar. Layer with Oreo cookies, then cookie dough, repeating until you’ve reached the top of the jar, leaving 1 inch free. Bake cookies 15 to 17 minutes or until cookies are baked to your liking. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Serve with a tall glass of milk, enjoy!

Atlanta was great. Here is the view from our room. It was quite stunning. There is nothing better than a conference full of food bloggers. We did not waste any time, shortly after we arrived it was time to get ready for our first party. The ever so talented Susan from She’s Becoming Doughmesstic hosted a lovely party at the Hard Rock Cafe. She is superwoman if you ask me, really was a perfect night to chit chat with friends, eat some good food and talk with brands. I regret not taking many photos this trip, so I’ve borrowed my friends

Friday afternoon, Amanda and I skipped out of the 2nd half of the conference and went to some fun eats in Atlanta. First was Taqueria del Sol, which had some of the best tacos I have ever had. Next was Star Provisions, the treats you see in the above photo. Their bakery was gorgeous and that Homemade S’mores Bar was incredible. I must re-create it!

Here we are Friday night getting ready for the “Pork Crawl” an event put on by the National Pork Board and Jaden of Steamy Kitchen. Talk about a night of over eating! We were treated to 3 beautiful restaurants where the chefs created 3 course meals all with pork. It was unforgettable and I still need to work off all of that food!

Looks like Atlanta was a lot of fun! I’ve only been there for a flying visit so maybe I should explore it a little more!
That looks like a lot of fun (the conference – not cleaning out a suitcase with cookie crumbles) On the cookie jars…I can’t tell from the photo, did you make the cookie dough and put it in the jars or did you put the dry ingredients in?
I prepared the cookie dough as usual and baked them right in the jar
Looks like such a fabulous weekend! Your Oreo jars are so fun!
Thanks Lauren
What a fun weekend with great friends! I always love spending time with you. Don’t you just love those Instagram photos?!

Hi Jenny,

I agree Kalyn, wish we had more time to chit chat! Hope to see you again soon
Such a fun recap! Now I’m missing everyone all over again. It was amazing to meet you, Jenny!
Jenny these pictures make me wish I had gone to BlogHer ATL! WOW!!!
You all look so amazing, beautiful, and happy!
It’s a treat for us bloggers, women, and for those of us who are mothers too, to get away for a weekend and spend time with like-minded others and learn, share, grow.
And also ride in limos and get dressed up and have a few drinks and have a blast, right
Thanks Averie! Wish you were there!! It was a fun time
oh my gosh you ladies are all SO CUTE! i want to come next time
Wouldn’t you have to make them quickly? It seems like the oreos would get soggy.
So bummed I didn’t have a chance to chat with you in person at BlogHer – wanted to thank you for getting me in touch with the HerChannel folks and just have a chance to put a face to a name. Maybe at the next one!
Looks like a fabulous trip! I’ve always wanted to go to Atlanta too!!!! And yes, wow, a foodapalooza.
