Laura Cooks: Cookies N Cream Brownies!

If you haven't read my first September post I mentioned that almost all the birthdays of people I know happen in September. And after making 10 thousand cakes and cupcakes I thought it was time for a change of pace when baking up a sweet treat to celebrate my awesome Dad's birthday.

My dad is one of the COOLEST people that I know. He always believes in me and my pursuit of the arts. Heck, he even goes with me to events. Here he is at a fashion show, you know the guy on the FARRR left:

He likes brownies. And he likes oreos. There has to be a recipe that combines both SOMEWHERE on the internet. To my luck there's only about 1000 but this particular recipe from lauren's latest seemed the easiest. In fact her slogan is, "everyday ingredients ~ extraordinary food."

So how about dem brownies? They came out AMAZING. The only thing I changed in the recipe was add 1/4 of water because the batter was PRETTY thick. ANDD I mixed about 4 crushed up oreos in the frosting portion of the recipe; guilty!

Also since this is an illustration blog I had to doodle-up a cookies and cream brownie of my own. Not one of my best illustrated brownies I will admit that but it was still a good challenge.

If you want to give the recipe a try, be sure to check out the blog, lauren's latest for the full recipe. I hope everyone has a great weekend!! I'm going to be busy working on my Ren Faire costume :O
