For the Strawberry Crunch:

2 cups strawberry crunch ice cream (or strawberry ice cream)

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Which Brands Did I Use For These Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches?

Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.

Oreos – Golden Oreos / Vanilla Sandwich Cookies

Freeze-dried Strawberries – Great Value Freeze Dried Strawberry Fruit Crisps

Ice Cream – Breyers Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream

Soft Cookies – Pepperidge Farm Charleston Birthday Cake Cookies

How To Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches:

Make the strawberry crunch
Place the Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a ziplock bag.
Use a rolling pin to roughly crush into small crumbs.
Pour onto a plate and spread into an even layer.
Build the ice cream sandwiches
Place a generous scoop of strawberry ice cream on the flat side of half the cookies.
Top with another cookie and press gently to sandwich.
Roll in strawberry crunch

Roll the edges of each sandwich in the strawberry crunch mixture to coat the ice cream completely.
Freeze
Place sandwiches on a tray and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Suggestions:

Double the crunch: Press some extra crunch into the sides with your hands so it really sticks.
Switch up the cookies: Try chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or oatmeal for fun twists.
Use different ice cream: Vanilla, strawberry cheesecake, or chocolate.
Make mini sandwiches: Use smaller cookies for bite-size treats perfect for kids.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do these last in the freezer?
Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Let them sit at room temp for 3-5 minutes before eating for the perfect texture.

Can I make the strawberry crunch ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it in a ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 5 days.

What if I don’t have freeze-dried strawberries?
If you don’t have freeze-dried strawberries, you can also use this recipe:

20 Golden Oreos
3.4 oz box strawberry Jello powder
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Roughly crush Golden Oreos and pour into a bowl. Mix in strawberry Jell-O powder and melted butter. Stir well. Pour onto a plate and spread into a single layer.

A Little Note

I love these because they remind me of the Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream bars we had growing up! I also have a Strawberry Crunch Cookie Recipe on BigBearsWife.com

Easiest Pokémon Cookies Ever – Pikachu and Poké Ball Cookies

Angie — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 19:08:08 +0000

Easiest Pokémon Cookies Ever – Pikachu and Poké Ball Cookies – premade chocolate chip cookie dough and premade Pikachu and Poké Ball sugar cookie dough come together to make some of the Pokémon Inspired Cookies that you’ll ever make.

Jump to Recipe

Pin this Recipe

There are two things my son loves the most right now and those two things are “Anything Pokémon” and “Making Cookies“.

We have so many Pokémon stuffed animals that he has filled a tiny tent with them and the binder of perfectly sorted Pokémon cards (thanks to Mom)…..we won’t even talk about that. haha

This year, J wanted to help out with the blog some so I thought maybe we could feature some easy and fun Pokémon recipes since that is his obsession right now. He loves coming up with ideas my blog and it’s so sweet (he’s 7).

Pokémon recipes sound like the perfect series to work on with him.

So when I saw these Pokémon sugar cookies in Target, I KNEW that I had to get them because we had to make our favorite Semihomemade Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies! We made a Halloween version of these cookies a few years ago and now J and I make them for every holiday!

So why do we use two types of cookie dough when we could just bake the Pokémon sugar cookies like the come in the packets?

Well, these pre-cut and ready to bake sugar cookies don’t seem to hardly spread at all when you bake them. So if you put them on top of the chocolate chip cookie dough (that does spread into a nice-sized cookie), they turn into a perfect Pokémon cookie!

Heres to our first Mommy and Son, Pokémon recipe! I’m sure I’ll share more here and over at BigBearsWife.com if they’re more homemade type recipes.

Ingredients For Easiest Pokémon Cookies Ever – Pikachu and Poké Ball Cookies:

premade chocolate chip cookie dough
premade Pokémon sugar cookie dough

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Can you make these with other cookie doughs?

I’m sure you can make these with other pre-cut cookie doughs but I haven’t tested it with any other brands.

How To Make Easiest Pokémon Cookies Ever – Pikachu and Poké Ball Cookies:

Two squares of chocolate chip dough will equal one cookie. Roll 2 squares into a ball and then slightly flatten them into a round cookie shape.
Lay cookie dough on a prepared baking sheet.
Place 1 pre-cut Pokémon sugar cookie on top of each chocolate chip cookie dough round.
Bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes.
Remove and let cool.
Don’t worry if they’re PUFFY when you pull them out of the oven. They will cool down flat.

I mean look at how easy and cute these cookies are! Now are they 5 star dessert bakery Pokémon Cookies? No, but they’re fun to make and my kiddo loves them!

Eyeball Oreos

Angie — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 09:55:00 +0000

These hauntingly delicious Eyeball Oreos are the perfect spooky cookie for any Halloween or spooky-themed party.

Jump to Recipe

Pin this Recipe

Who doesn’t love a classic Oreo cookie? With its creamy filling and chocolate wafer exterior, it’s been a beloved snack for generations. But we’re going to give them a little Halloween twist!

Yep, I’m talking about Eyeball Oreos. They’re quick and easy to make plus they look great for Halloween! You don’t really need any baking skills either to master these treats!

And with over 217 million pounds of Oreos sold in the US alone each year, it’s safe to say that these eyeball-filled treats will be a hit. That’s A LOT of Oreo Eyeballs for Halloween!

Ingredients For Eyeball Oreos:

12 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies like Oreos
16 ounces white candy melts or white almond part
12 candy eyes
3-4 ounces red candy melts
toothpicks

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Which Brands Did I Use For These Eyeball Oreos?

Sandwich Cookies– I used OREO brand cookies but you can use any round sandwich cookie.

Vanilla candy coating – When it comes to candy melts, I really like to use the Make and Mold candy wafers from Amazon or Hobby Lobby. I’ve tried some other brand names that just don’t melt well and I don’t like to waste money with unusable candy melts. I also like to use Almond Bark from Walmart or Food Lion if I’m just making something with chocolate or vanilla.

Candy Eyes – I found these at Walmart but you can use any kind of candy eye. You can find tons of candy eyes on Amazon too.

How To Make Eyeball Oreos:

Melt white candy melts according to package directions.
Dip cookies into candy coating and coat all sides.
Place on a piece of parchment paper.
While candy melts are still wet, add a candy eye to the center of each cookie.
Let the white candy melts harden.
Melt red candy melts according to package directions.
Use red candy melts and a toothpick to draw on “bloodshot” swiggly lines.
Let treats sit, undisturbed, for about 30 minutes to harden.

HELP! I Can’t Find Red Candy Melts!

If you can’t find the right color or need something quick, use either the Great Value Almond Bark (don’t worry there are no nuts in it!) or the Food Lion Candy Coating and color it with Oil Based Food Coloring for Chocolate.

You can find this on Amazon as well or in stores like Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

Make sure that you’re using OIL BASED food coloring with working with chocolate or candy melts. You can not use regular food coloring to color them because those are water based. If you mix water based food coloring with chocolate or candy melts, the chocolate/candy will seize up and turn into a gloopy, crusty mess.

I Can’t Find Candy Eyes!

I’ve seen candy eyes on Amazon and at Dollar Tree and at Dollar General this year.

You could also try your hand at making homemade royal icing faces. I need to make a tutorial for that, but until then, you can google “How to Make Royal Icing Transfers” and you’ll find lots of helpful options!

Can I Make These In Advance?

Yes! You can make these up to a week in advance and keep them at room temperature in an airtight container.

Bloodshot Eyeball Cookies

Make Halloween entertaining fun and simple with these semi homemade Bloodshot Eyeball Cookies using your favorite cookies from the bakery!

Jump to Recipe

Spooky, Creepy and Totally Easy!

These cookies are made using store bought cookies from the bakery and a can of cake frosting. These cookies take just a few minutes to decorate and would look great on the table for any Halloween party!

Ingredients For Bloodshot Eyeball Cookies:

8 Premade round cookies*
1/2 cup white frosting
Red decorating gel
8 Candy Eyes

* I used snickerdoodle cookies from the bakery for these but you could use any cookie you like

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Which Brands Did I Use For These Bloodshot Eyeball Cookies?

Premade round cookies – I used snickerdoodle cookies from the Walmart bakery but you can really use any round cookie that you want to use.

White frosting – I used Pillsbury frosting

Red decorating gel – Great Value Decorating Gel (Walmart)

Candy Eyes – I found these at Walmart but you can use any kind of candy eye. You can find tons of candy eyes on Amazon too.

How To Make Bloodshot Eyeball Cookies:

Place a cookie on a flat surface.
Using a spoon or butter knife, spread white frosting over top of cookie.
Add candy eye ball to center of cookie.
Use red decorating gel to draw on “bloodshot” swiggly lines.
Continue until all cookies are done.

Can You Stack These Eyeball Cookies?

These cookies are decorated with cake frosting and red edible decorating gel, so they’re not really stackable nor will they have a hard finish like a Royal Icing sugar cookie.

If you want cookies that you can package or stack, you’ll need to decorate them with royal icing like I did with my favorite Heart Sugar Cookies.

Can I Use Homemade Cookies?

Absolutely! You could use homemade cookies, bakery cookie or packaged cookies for this treat.

Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies

Angie — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 15:54:09 +0000

Ready for the perfect Christmas Cookies? These Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies are going to be a new favorite! You’ll only need 4 ingredients for these cookies!

Jump to Recipe

Pin this Recipe

These Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies are perfect for Christmas parties and cookie exchange parties! These Christmas cookies are also great to give as a gift from the kitchen for the holidays.

Ingredients For Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies:

yellow cake mix
eggs
vegetable oil
Christmas M&M chocolate candies

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Which Brands Did I Use For This Dessert?

Yellow Cake Mix – When I make cake mix cookies, I prefer to use either Pillsbury Cake Mix OR Duncan Hines Classic Cake Mix. Of course you can use any cake mix that you love but I’ve tried cake mix cookie recipes with different brands of cake mix and the cheaper the cake mix, the cheaper the taste when it comes to cake mix cookies.

Eggs – Just regular ol’ large eggs.

Vegetable Oil – I just whatever it on sale haha. I think for this particular recipe, I used the Food Lion Brand.

Christmas M&M chocolate candies – I use the brand name Christmas M&M chocolate candies – not the knock-off off brand chocolate candies.

Does The Cake Mix Brand Matter When Making Cake Mix Cookies?

I think it does. I’ve made cake mix cookies with all types of cake mixes and I think that the better the cake mix the better the cookie. I would say any of the name brand cake mixes would be great. I’ve tried the Aldi off brand cake mix and it works but it does taste “cheap”.

Can I Use Mini M&Ms For These Cake Mix Christmas Cookies?

You Sure Can! You Might not need as many. Maybe a cup of mini candies? I would add 1 cup of the mini M&MS and stir up the batter and see if that’s enough for your liking for these M&M Cookies.

How To Make Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies:

Preheat the oven and prepare your baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat on my cookie sheet when I make cookies so that they don’t stick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine everything but the M&M candies. Stir and mix well.
Add in about 1 & 1.5 cups M&M chocolate candies. Leave about 1/2 cup candoes to decorate the tops of the dough before baking.
Drop 2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Press the rest of the Christmas M&M chocolate candies into the tops of the cookie dough. This is going to make them so pretty!
Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on a wire cooling rack.

Can I Make These Cookies With Gluten Free Cake Mix?

I have not tried making cake mix cookies with boxed gluten free cake mix yet so I’m not sure.

What Other Mix-Ins Can I Use In Cake Mix Cookies?

You could also add chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped walnuts or chopped pecans.

My son loves to help in the kitchen. He is only 5 but he’s been wanting to help mommy and daddy make dinners and desserts since he was old enough to stand on his little stool in the kitchen.

These super easy Halloween cookies are one recipe that he can almost make completely on his own (with help with the oven work of course).

I use to love baking these cute little “ready to bake” cookies when I was younger but back then I remember them spreading and baking out into much larger cookies.

Now though, these pre-cut and ready to bake sugar cookies don’t seem to hardly spread at all when you bake them. So if you put them on top of the the chocolate chip cookie dough (that does spread into a nice size cookie), they turn into a perfect Halloween cookie!

My little guy just thought these were the coolest cookies.

Ingredients For Easiest Halloween Cookies Ever:

premade chocolate chip cookie dough
premade pumpkin sugar cookie dough

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Can you make these with other cookie doughs?

I’m sure you can make these with other pre-cut cookie doughs but I haven’t tested it with any other brands.

How To Make The Easiest Halloween Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever:

Two squares of chocolate chip dough will equal one cookie. Roll 2 squares into a ball and then slightly flatten them into a round cookie shape.
Lay cookie dough on a prepared baking sheet.
Place 1 pre-cut pumpkin sugar cookie on top of each chocolate chip cookie dough round.
Bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes.
Remove and let cool.

You don’t have to use them. You can use any kind of Dehydrated Marshmallow bits but I think the Lucky Charms ones are super pretty!
