Chocolate Peanut Butter Nutella Oreo Cookies -  Sarcastic Cooking

So, it is the start of a new year. Whoop dee doo. I have not made resolutions. I think I actually gave up on that a few years ago. Maybe the only resolution I have this year is to resolve to change diapers a little bit quicker as to avoid being peed on or having my beautifully decorated room showered with pee. Sorry, my life these days is lived in three hour increments between feedings and diaper changes.

If you aren’t living life like me (cherish it), then you are probably on a health kick. Maybe you’re going to do a juice cleanse. I give you credit.

Dealing with a one month old all day is making me long for sweets. Which is so weird because during my whole pregnancy, I never craved sweets or chocolate. If anything, that was more Mike than me. But now, while Andy is sleeping, I find myself sneaking off to the kitchen to wolf down a cookie really quickly just to get that chocolate fix. It calms my tired soul.

While we were in the hospital with Andy, some of our amazing friends and family brought us Oreo cookies because they know how much Mike loves them. So, right now, our kitchen is stocked with three full packages of Double Stuf Oreos. That doesn’t include the half eaten packages of Holiday Double Stuf Oreos and Trader Joe’s Peppermint Joe Joe’s. Needless to say I have been eating a lot of Oreos, these cookies, and this bark, minus the candy canes of course. I mean, my decorations may still be up, but I am so off of Christmas related foods.

If you are enjoying a snow day like my husband is, bake up some of these, take a deep breath, then bite into a dozen or so cookies, and screw those new year’s resolutions just for a day or two!

    No resolutions because I will never be able to swear off cookies, never! I also can’t keep oreos in the house I will keep going back for them.

    I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions either, for me, I follow them for about a week and then give up.

    These cookies look seriously to die for. Oreos, nutella, peanut butter AND chocolate? Holy cow.

    Oh man, I’m craving sweets already — which means once the babe is actually here, it could get dangerous. Maybe if I eat a billion of these cookies now it’ll keep me from craving them post-birth? Riiiiiight.

    You deserve to have whatever you want the first 6 months of your babies life! It is tough and the no sleep thing is brutal. These look like the perfect cooking to me–I love the combo of nutella, oreos and PB! So delicious. I am craving these because with this pregnancy all I do is crave sweets! 😉 Happy snow day! When is it summer again?

    I think sweets are the perfect way to self soothe from pee incidents. These look AMAZING! Resolutions… I made none and I’m proud of it.
