Shake things up using add ins like Nutella, Hershey's Kisses, salted caramels, or mini chocolate bars and mini marshmallows to bake ooey gooey cookies. Here are some fun ideas found online to be inspired by...
🍪 Stuffed Cookies –
Follow the cookie dough directions on the container. Make small flat circles out of the dough. Top each cookie with your favorite stuffing. Seal them together by pinching edges of seams. Bake on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper for the recommended time — or until the edges of cookies are golden and center is lightly set. Let cool before removing from parchment paper:
🍪 Nutella Stuffed Cookies
* Use 1/2 tablespoons of Nutella for each cookie
Press the back of a half teaspoon measuring spoon into each cookie dough to create a well. Top each well with a heaping half tablespoon of Nutella. Pinch together edges to close dough around stuffing.
🍪 Salted Caramel Stuffed Cookies
* Use unwrapped square caramel chews 1 per cookie
* Pinch of sea salt
Press an unwrapped caramel square into the center of each cookie dough. Sprinkle each caramel with sea salt. Pinch together edges to close dough around stuffing.
🍪 S’mores Stuffed Cookies
* Use mini marshmallows
* Use mini Hershey’s chocolate
Press the chocolate square into the center of each cookie dough. Top the chocolate square with 2 mini marshmallows. Pinch together edges to close dough around stuffing.
🍪 Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Blossoms –
Take a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and then roll into sugar. Bake according to cookie dough instructions or until lightly browned. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool before serving
🍪 Dipped or Drizzled Cookies –
Make cookies with a small scoop. Bake according to cookie dough instructions or until lightly browned and set in the center. After cooling cookies, place on cold cookie sheet lined with Parchment paper. Melt chocolate chips (try white chocolate chips for Lemon Sugar cookies). Dip half cookie, or drizzle over the top of cookies with a fork or spoon.
🍪 Fruit Pizza Lemon Sugar Cookie Dough –
Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. In pan, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust. Bake according to cookie dough directions, or until golden brown and set in the center. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Mix together 8oz cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 8oz whipped topping. Spread evenly on the cookie pizza and top with your favorite seasonal fruits. Optional: Pick up some Keys homemade strawberry jam and brush on as a glaze on the cream cheese, or drizzle over the fruit topping.
