Recipe Description

This is what you will need: For the cookie forms: 1 Cup Shortening 1/3 Cup white sugar 1/2 Cup light brown sugar 1 Large egg 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract more if you add to the glass of milk 2 Cups all purpose flour sifted 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 Cup mini chocolate chips do not substitute 1 Cup Magic Shell or melted chocolate ( I used Hersey's, it worked but I recommend something different) 1 1/2 Cups milk Pam Sprinkles optional Candy eggs optional Cookie filling: 1/2 Cup softened butter 1/3 Cup brown sugar 3/4 Cup powdered sugar 8 Oz Cream cheese softened 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3/4 Cup crushed mini Oreo cookies but regular will work 1/4 Cup mini chocolate chips do not substitute these Tools: Power drill with paint stir attachment or a kitchen mixer You will also need measuring cups, spoons, bowls, cookie sheet, parchment paper, straws optional, scissors, pencil, shot glass or something to form the cookies into desired shape. I tried shot glasses but they were too small so I tried a small juice glass and a custard dish which worked very nicely. The shot glass worked great for the ice cream cone shape. Remember to charge the batteries on the drill if it has batteries.

Measure ingredients: 1/2 Cup softened butter but not too soft 1/3 Cup brown sugar 8 Oz Cream cheese softened again not too soft 3/4 Cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla extract 3/4 Cup crushed Oreos 1/4 Cup mini chocolate chips do not substitute

Method: Combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Mix until well incorporated using a power drill or kitchen mixer. Fold in the chocolate chips. Chill until later.

Measure Ingredients: 1 Cup shortening 1/3 Cup white sugar 1/2 Cup light brown sugar 1 Egg yolk 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 Cups flour sifted with the salt 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 Cup mini chocolate chips Do not substitute 1 Cup Magic shell or a chocolate that is suitable for melting and setting up when chilled 1 1/2 Cups milk he added some vanilla to the milk shots but I did not want to.

Combine: Cream shortening and sugars together Add yolk and mix thoroughly Slowly add the salt and sifted flour mixture and mix thoroughly Fold in chocolate chips Chill for thirty minutes. This cookie mixture will be quite crumbly but moist enough to form nicely to the mold.

While you are waiting for the dough to chill: Melt the chocolate if not using the Magic shell.

The first time I made the molds I did not use parchment paper and they were a little difficult to remove without breaking but I did do it. The dough raised more than I wanted so the second time I made them, I pressed a lot more firmly and the results were much better.Make the mold pattern as shown: Make a pattern for the molds using the parchment paper and cut them out. Spray the molds generously with Pam. Insert the paper pattern inside the mold and remove any wrinkles. Press the cookie dough into the molds about 1/4 inch thick pressing the dough firmly making sure there are no weak spots or holes. I believe this is important to help prevent the dough from rising too much. Chill for 30 minutes. Then bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until brown but not over brown. Allow them to cool, then remove them from the mold carefully by giving the sides a slight tap.Chill for 30 minutes.

Method: Lightly coat the inside of the mold with the Magic shell and chill for 20 minutes.

Method: I molded the cookie dough in the shape of a nest in my hand and place the nest in the center of the cookie, then I decorated it with sprinkles and candy eggs.

The drill paint stir thingy worked great but I have to admit that the long shaft on it made it difficult for me to hold and take pictures. But in a pinch this is the way to go. A person may use an electric mixer beater instead but I liked the weirdness of using the paint stir thingy for the fun of it. This was an enjoyable project. I hope it inspires you to make this recipe for your next party or family cooking day. I sent over a few of these to my neighbor and she called requesting more. We can't eat a lot of sugar so I usually gift my neighbors because I value their opinion. The cookie dough recipe taste exactly like cookie dough. So yummy. If you think it is worth your vote please come back and vote for the power tool contest, I would be most grateful. I wish to thank Instructables, our sponsors, contributors, and all my visitors for making this a great place to share. Thanks for stopping by and do have a safe and happy day! sunshine
