Tomorrow is Valentine's Day... I'm not really sure how; wasn't Christmas, like, last week? Anyway, I'm always looking for fun holiday themed recipes and was having some trouble finding a good Valentines one this year. I came across this recipe and it wasn't Valentinesy at all but sounded delicious and I knew I could doctor them up and make them pretty. Not only did they turn out delicious, they are ridiculously simple and only really have five ingredients. From what I understand they were at hit at work and I have barely had the willpower to keep my hands out of the cookie jar myself. Have a Love-ly Valentine's (or Galentine's or Singles Appreciation Day or whatever you celebrate) and whether its a happy day or not, these cookies will make your day even better!
Ingredients
*I recommend making a double batch*
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 6 Tbsp salted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 10 Oreos broken into pieces (I used Red Velvet Oreos to make them more for V-day and they were delicious)
- If you are making them for V-day, add 2 or 3 drops red or pink food coloring
Directions
- With a mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add sugar and beat well.
- Add in flour, a small amount at a time beating on low speed until just incorporated. (add in food coloring here if you are using it)
- Fold in the broken Oreos.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Line a large baking sheet with Parchment paper.
- With a spoon, scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball and put onto the cookie sheet. Lightly press down on each cookie.
- Place pan in the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are just barely golden. They will be very soft but will firm up later.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to counter or cooling rack and let cool completely.
