OREO STUFFED COOKIES

oreo stuffed cookies SAM_3077

I thought I'd share a super easy, super tasty recipe with you today. I made these at the weekend and they were amazing! You only need three ingredients & a spare 15 mins & you can make yourself a delicious treat.

To  make 6 you will need:

♥ A packet of cookie mix
♥ A packet of oreos
♥ A cup of water

Preheat your oven to 180°c. To start, you need to make your cookie dough. Instead of following the pack instructions (which were to add 3-4 tbsps of water) I had a cup of water that I was pouring in slowly and stirring the mix until I reached the consistency I wanted. I like my cookies gooey and moist, so I used about 3/4 of the cup of water.

Next, you need to lightly grease a muffin tray, then add about a tablespoon of the cookie mix to the bottom of 6 of the sections.

Place your oreos on top of your cookie mix bases, then spoon more of your cookie mix over the oreos to cover them. Pop them in the oven for 10-15mins. While they're cooking, it's very important to eat any remaining cookie dough & lick the spoon. In my opinion, this is the most important step!

You should end up with big, gooey, chocolaty, delicious pieces of heaven! Serve warm with some milkshakes for the perfect treat!

I love the Argos home ware range- it always has on trend, good quality, affordable pieces. When we moved in to our house, we furnished most of it using Argos! It was just so useful being able to get the styles we want, at prices we could afford, and having branches nearby made it really convenient too. Therefore, you can imagine how thrilled I was when they very kindly offered to send me some of their items from their home ware range to review!

How amazing is the birdcage tea light holder?? The style and the detail is just gorgeous- I absolutely love it! In fact, I love it so much I am considering buying several more to use as table centre pieces for our wedding instead of traditional flowers! I can imagine draping strings of pearls through the bars, and perhaps adding some silk flowers or vintage brooches. I may use little wooden pegs to attach the table numbers written on luggage labels to the bars. I think it would be just beautiful! And at £19.99 it is an absolute bargain. I can't say enough good things about this product. I love it!

I think there is something really elegant about this little clock. It's actually an alarm clock, and I love the simplicity of it. It's a lovely soft grey and I love the style the numbers are written in- I think it's a beautiful font. I like quite minimalist, yet pretty and feminine items and I think this fits this style perfectly!

I think the crochet cushion is another item that could be described as minimalist yet feminine. I really love crochet items at the moment, and this cushion is a lovely shade of cream that will go with anything, with chunky buttons to stop it being too plain.Our bed has rather a lot of floral and pattern going on too (sorry, David!) so this cushion balances it out nicely!

I am in love with these beakers! How retro and lovely are they? The pastel tones are so pretty- I love the hint of mint on the inside of the large one (mine) and the soft pink of the small one (Lily's!). Argos now has a selection of ex Habitat stock at very reasonable prices and these are part of that range. They are just perfect to serve some milkshake in with some pretty paper straws! I know this sounds like such a gushy post, but I actually have nothing negative to say about any of the items, I am so happy with all of them!

Here's the exciting part! All of these gorgeous items totaled at just pennies off of £50- so Argos are very generously offering a £50 voucher to one of my readers!
