With this fun and indulgent recipe for chocolate-covered star Oreos, you can take your classic Oreo cookies to the next level. The rich chocolate coating and whimsical gold star decorations make these treats ideal for special occasions or whenever you're in the mood for something delicious.

Ingredients: 1 package of Oreo cookies. 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Edible gold stars for decoration.

Instructions: Put the coconut oil and chocolate chips in a bowl that can go in the microwave. In 20-second bursts, stir the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Each Oreo cookie should be dipped all the way into the melted chocolate. Place the Oreos covered in chocolate on a tray lined with parchment paper. To make a star pattern, sprinkle edible gold stars on top of each Oreo while the chocolate is still wet. Put the tray in the fridge for about 15 to 20 minutes to let the chocolate set. As soon as the chocolate is hard, carefully take the Oreos off the tray and serve.

Ingredients: 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies. 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Instructions: In a bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Scoop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Oreo Cheesecake Cookies!

Chocolate cupcakes with a surprise Oreo cookie at the bottom, topped with a creamy Oreo-infused frosting, are a delightful combination. These cupcakes are a must-try for Oreo fans!

Ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup hot water. 12 Oreo cookies for batter. 12 Oreo cookies for topping. 1 cup heavy whipping cream. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. Put the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix everything together well. Add the hot water and mix it in until the batter is smooth. It is going to be thin, but that's okay. In the bottom of each cupcake liner, put an Oreo cookie. Cover the Oreo cookie with two thirds of the batter in each liner. After the oven is hot, bake it for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. For five minutes, let the cupcakes cool in the pan. After that, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Crush 12 Oreo cookies into small pieces for the frosting. Heavy whipping cream should be whipped in a bowl until soft peaks form. The powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed Oreos should be added slowly and carefully until they are well mixed in. Put the frosting in a piping bag and use it to decorate the cupcakes that have already cooled. Put a whole Oreo cookie on top of each cupcake to make it look nice. If you want, you can add more crushed Oreo cookies on top. To let the frosting set, put the cupcakes in the fridge for about 30 minutes before you serve them. Have fun with your tasty Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes!

Enjoy the irresistible combination of Oreo cookies and delicate macaron shells. These Oreo macarons are a visual and gastronomic delight!

Ingredients: 110g almond meal. 200g powdered sugar. 100g egg whites aged, preferably. 30g granulated sugar. Black gel food coloring. Oreo cookie crumbs from about 10 cookies. Vanilla buttercream filling. Crushed Oreo cookies for decoration.

Instructions: Put parchment paper on a baking sheet. The almond meal and powdered sugar should be mixed together. Throw away any big pieces that are still in the sifter. Whip the egg whites in a different bowl until they get foamy. Add the granulated sugar slowly and whip until stiff peaks form. In two parts, mix the dry ingredients into the egg whites. Mix in the black food coloring and keep folding until the batter is the consistency of lava. Put the batter in a bag with a round tip for piping. Place small rounds on the baking sheet that has been prepared. To get rid of any air bubbles, lightly tap the baking sheet on the counter. Cover half of the shells with Oreo cookie crumbs. Set the macarons out at room temperature for half an hour to make a skin. Warm the oven up to the right temperature. After the time given, the macarons should be easy to peel off the parchment paper. Before taking the macarons off the baking sheet, let them cool all the way down. Put shells of the same size together. Put a small amount of vanilla buttercream on one shell and then put another shell on top of it. Crush Oreo cookies and roll the edges of the filled macarons in them. For the best flavor, put the macarons in the fridge for 24 hours in a container that won't let air in.

So after a complete week with no sugar- how do I feel? Honestly- so far not much change. I’m pretty tired like usual. My body is weak and sore. I do see my acne is getting better though. That is a relief. 

My number one sugar-free April problem- My wife’s Oreo obsession (she’s still eating sugar). Chocolate cookies with a cream filled center!? Like how could you not love them. Plus if you know me at all- I am a cookie monster. ALSO!!! Oreo made Easter cookies! Like. Come. On!  What a painful month. But bright side bob- I am not bitchy... yet. Which I assume will come because our bodies are addicted to sugar and I ate A LOT of it- so I feel like I should be going into withdrawal already. If not soon. Also bright side to my wife being on days off- she helps soooo much with meal prep and dishes!! Gonna be sad when she goes back on Friday. 

Whipped up more energy balls today. I think I’m addicted. They’re so perfect and great for a quick snack or even breakfast. Helping my sweet tooth.

I finished off my homemade jam this morning. I think I should make more soon! I loved it. Finished off more leftovers for lunch. And for supper we whipped up a quick healthy stir-fry. Stir-fry goes over well with the wife and I. Its quick, easy, simple, and healthy. Uses a lot of veggies. You can throw whatever you want in it really. I fried up some tofu and put that in there too. One thing I love to put in everything if possible is hemp hearts. Jam packed with nutrients- so good for you and in salads and stir-fries they are practically tasteless. I used some of my homemade vegetable broth in the stir-fry too- that stuff is so good!

Tomorrow I wanna try to make Cauliflower steaks for lunch and some type of quinoa dish for supper. Maybe something a little more spicy, a little more Mexican. Now I gotta go make some overnight oats so I have something to eat for breakfast tomorrow.  

Can it be May!? I just want an Oreo!! Wish me luck! 🌱 ✌️
