Oreo Pan Sugar Cookies

Add Oreos to a vanilla shake, and all of a sudden

you have an over the top shake. Add Oreos to

frosting, and you will want to eat it by the spoonful!

Now add Oreos to sugar cookies and top it with Oreo

frosting, and people will be begging for more!

I 

I made some Oreo frosting for a chocolate cake

for my grandson's birthday, and took a swipe

from the whisk and it was instant love! I

didn't stop there with my usual one taste, I

went ahead and cleaned off the whisk and went

on to clean out the bowl.  This is truly addictive.

I knew I had to create some other vehicle for

the Oreo frosting so I decided to make my go

to pan sugar cookies for a crowd and top it with the

Oreo frosting.  I made these for our Young Single

Adult Ward and they disappeared off the platter,

even though it makes over 50 cookies.

I love anything that I can make it my big bun pan

as we often have 50-70 kids for the dinners.

Afterwards, my niece asked me to make her some

for a group that was coming to her house.  We ended

up just making a batch of the frosting and she took

graham crackers to dip in the frosting.  She said she

liked that even better, so if you just want the yumminess

of the frosting and don't want to wait for cookies

to bake, have it with grahams.  Remember when we used

to have that for a treat as kids?  I even remember having

that as a treat in Kindergarten and that was 

many many moons ago!

Oreo Frosting

1 C. butter, softened 

5 C. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla, preferably clear

3-5 T. water or milk

6 Oreos, crushed

Place softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla

and 3 T. water in mixing bowl with whisk 

attachment.  Begin to whip it.  Add water

1 T. at a time to get a soft frosting consistency.

Beat for 5-7 minutes, scraping sides.  

Whip in crushed Oreos.  Crush a few

extra Oreos for garnish.

Oreo Pan Sugar Cookies

1 C. butter, softened

2 C. sugar

4 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla, preferably clear

1/2 tsp coconut flavoring

5 C. flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp soda

8 Oreos, crushed

Heat oven to 375.

Cream the butter and sugar in a large

mixing bowl.  Add the eggs one at a time

until incorporated. Mix in the flavorings. Scrape sides of bowl.

In a medium bowl mix the flour, salt and soda.  

When the sugar mixture is light and fluffy, mix in the flour

mixture and combine well.  Then stir in the crushed Oreos.

Spray a 13x18 inch pan with Pam and press the 

dough into the pan and smooth out.

Bake for about 13 minutes.  You can easily overbake

these, and they are better underbaked than overbaked.

Take out of the oven when the top looks dry.  Cool 

completely and frost with Oreo Frosting. Garnish

with additional crushed Oreos.

If you are one of those who loves to scrape out

the frosting of Oreos and eat it,

this will give you that Oreo fix!!

Make these for your next large gathering, or just

a bowl of the frosting for dipping!
