OMG!!!!!!!!

Once I found this frosting recipe I knew exactly what I was going to do with it…..eat it….oh and make something for you!

So, I made a batch of frosting for me…and a second one for these.

The hubby doesn’t understand how I can eat a whole batch of frosting and still be “testing it”. But I am sure you understand.

After inhaling these you can run around like a crazy person from the sugar rush. Or at least I tell people it is because of the sugar rush

To kick of my birthday week, these little morsels were created. The sad thing is that they are so easy I was mad at my self for not making them sooner.

The first thing I thought and said out loud, when I tried one was “Where have you been all my life?”.

I know I have said it a few times before….but THESE are by far, hands down A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. So good that I should probably put a disclaimer on them.

Disclaimer: These are highly addictive and out of this world good. Eat under supervision.

There I hope that helps.

Here we go……are you ready……..This is your main ingredient.

Pour about 3 cups of oil into a pot/sauce pan

Take the Cinnamon Rolls out of the tub and cut into quarters. I found using a pizza slicer works really fast.

Once your oil has heated (to about 350)…carefully place your pieces into the oil.

Cook/Fry for 10 seconds and turn it over and cook/fry for 10 more seconds. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.

In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll around each piece to coat.

In another small bowl scoop out your icing and microwave for 10 seconds. If you have the regular icing (not the vanilla almond) just at 2 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of almond extract.

Drizzle over doughnut bites

There you have it. Super easy and insanely delicious.

Now you see it…..

Now you don’t.

Ok, so I may just have a problem. I can not stop putting brownies into things….I just cant.

One of my all time favorite cookies is Oatmeal. Whether it be oatmeal chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin. I just love them.

So here is the newest member of the brownie addition family.

Here is your line up…..

First, start with your brownies. Bake according to package. Once cooled cut into 2 inch squares.

Then combine your butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add your eggs, and vanilla and pumpkin (the secret ingredient…shhhh don’t tell).

Put all you dry ingredients into a gallon size bag (flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt) Ziploc and give it a good shake.

Slowly incorporate your dry into your wet ingredients and mix until fully combine.

Fold in your chocolate and cinnamon chips.

Using a cookie scoop (aka my best friend) scoop out about 1-2 Tbsp of dough onto a lined cookie sheet. Top with a brownie square and gently smash down.

Top with another scoop of dough and gently smash to cover brownie.

Bake at 350 for 12-14 min. let cool about 10 min and remove to cooling rack to cool some more.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup canned pumpkin
• 3 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• ¾ cup oatmeal
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 bag chocolate chips (12 oz)
• ½ cup cinnamon chips
• 1 box brownie mix, prepared according to package (additional ingredients are typically eggs, water and oil)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Prepare brownies according to package directions. Let cool and cut into 1 ½ inch to 2 inch squares.
3. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar together.
4. Add eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated.
5. In a gallon size Ziploc bag combine dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, baking soda, salt, cinnamon). Shake it to mix it all up.
6. Slowly incorporate flour mix into butter mix.
7. Stir in chocolate chips and cinnamon chips.
8. Place a large cookie scoopful of dough on a lined cookie sheet. Top with Brownie Square and give it a gentle smash.
9. Add another large scoop on the top.  Gently press and enclose brownie with dough. The dough is a bit sticky so beware. I didn’t completely en-robe my brownie. Just made it more of a sandwich.
10. Bake for 12-14 minutes.  Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from baking sheet.  They may look a bit dough-ie but they are done. If you would like them a bit more done pop in for a few more min.

So after the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Pancakes, that were a huge hit here, the creativity juices kept going.
