Oreo Thumbprint Cookies Posted on January 2, 2013 (February 1, 2021) by Lynna So, I was going to post yesterday. However, yesterday my dad woke me up telling me we (my family and I) are going to Vegas. Uh, what? That was a spontaneous trip, indeed. I also played my first real game of monopoly and it lasted for SEVEN hours non-stop. And, I still lost. Seven. Hours. That`s more than the average number of sleep I get per night during the school year. Anyways…Happy New Years everyone!! It`s finally 2013. This is going to be a big year for me, since I am expected to graduate in June. Time to force my butt into the “real” world with a job and all. It`s a life changer. (Yes, I am scared out of my mind. Terrified.) I`m not one to make New Year’s resolutions, since I feel like we can make those anytime in the year…Haha~ If a new healthy lifestyle or diet is on your resolution list, I`m sorry these cookies aren`t healthy for you. BUT, I can say, they are mighty good…and you just MIGHT have to make them. Oreos are awesome. I love those Hershey’s Cookies and Creme bars, so when I found these kisses, I freaked out. I grabbed a bag and came home happy. Then, I made these super cute cookies. An awesome way to start of 2013? I totally think so. 😉 You have the option, which I highly recommend, to roll the cookie dough into some Oreo crumbs before baking (like the photo above). And I`m curious, do YOU make New Years resolutions? Let`s make 2013 a good year!
