Good Sunday everyone! How fast did summer fly by?!! I can’t believe school is tomorrow morning! Crazy. I can’t picture my little guy eating lunch at school, I wonder if they’ll let me go spy on him to make sure he’s ok! His teacher is awesome, I know this will be a good year.
Ok, are you ready for another Oreo cookie creation? This one is even crazier than the last one and it has that great chocolate/peanut butter combo that we all love! There’s one catch, you have to make brownies too, I know, how horrible!
If you don’t feel like making brownies, you can certainly leave out the brownie swirls, but I wouldn’t! I love the broken Oreo’s in the peanut butter cookies, talk about a treat! Look in your pantry, I bet you’ve got all the ingredients to make them tonight. Happy Baking and good luck with the first day of school tomorrow if your kids start then too!!

½ Cup peanut butter
½ Cup sugar
½ Cup brown sugar

2.Sift flour, baking soda and powder, and salt into a large bowl.With mixer on low slowly add in dry ingredients and broken oreos until just combined.Pour cookie dough onto a rimmed cookie sheet and press to about ½ inch thick, doesn’t have to be totally flat or reach edges of cookie sheet, just spread out.
3. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Take 3 tablespoons of brownie batter and drizzle evenly over cookie dough. Take a toothpick and gently swirl brownie batter into cookie dough only a few times. You should be able to see clear brownie swirls.
4. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough with brownie swirls onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cooked through but still soft. Let cool for 3 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Coming next are some great little pizza’s on one of my favorite quick and easy crusts, See you soon!
I just wanted to let you know that I linked this recipe from my blog….Thank you so much for the recipe….they were SO good!!
So I finally got around to baking these last week and they turned out great! Just wanted to let you know how amazing this recipe is!
I can’t believe school has started there already – I think it starts on the 18th here, but it seems like when I was a kid, it started the end of August/beginning of September!
This would be a great snack for a school lunch. Or just a great snack for me!
I cam across your blog and I’m so glad I did! When I first saw this recipe my first reaction was that the cookies sound interesting but not for me. Then I started thinking about it and decided to give it a try. WOW! I am so glad I did, these are my new favorites! I don’t think I will ever make plain old peanut butter cookies again. THANK YOU!!
Where in the world does school start the first week of August? If I had to go back to school this early, I’d NEED a dozen or so of these cookies, just to get me out the door.
You come up with the best cookie / dessert ideas! Your kids are quite lucky to have you as a mom 🙂
Can’t believe that school’s starting already. Where did the summer go?
I am wanting some of these so bad right now it actually does hurt, lol.
Wow, I can not believe summer has passed already and I did not think about it until you said it was school time. In TN we never started school until the end of August, woo lucky us.
OMG! I just gained six pounds looking at these cookies. Mouth-watering.
And your photos are excellent!
Wow Jenny, those cookies look mouth wateringly awesome!
We are a whole month behind you all in school! Kids here don’t start until the first of September!
Brownie.. peanut butter… oreos.. all in one cookie!? This is the best thing EVER! 🙂
OMG..are you trying to kill us all??? Those look divine!
