There are countless packaged cookies you could choose from while walking down the aisle at the grocery store but as appealing as Chips Ahoy, or frosted animal crackers may be…most people can’t resist grabbing that rectangular, blue package of cookies and cream delight. Oreos are not only good for licking the cream out of or dipping in milk or peanut butter, but are delicious when used in desserts! They are also vegan. What a gift.

SLUTTY BROWNIES
*Easiest, most sinful dessert ever, I promise.
1 package store bought chocolate chip cookie dough (or homemade if you’d like)
1 package Oreos
1 family size box of brownie mix (as prepared)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and generously grease a 9×13 in. baking dish. Spread the cookie dough evenly on the bottom of the pan, arrange the Oreos on top, and spread the prepared brownie batter on top. Cover the pan with foil and bak for the 30 min. then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Good luck waiting.

Oreo Cookie Butter
You can spread Oreos on other things, even more Oreos!
1 package of Oreos
¼ cup coconut oil
Combine the cookies and coconut oil in a food processor for 5 minutes, scrape down the sides and let it run for 3 more minutes. When it finishes and cools, it will be the consistency of peanut butter and can be held at room temperature in a jar or Tupperware. Best spread on graham crackers or toast. It is also vegan!http://thekitchenpaper.com/oreo-cookie-butter/
