Cookies and Cream Donuts

These are obscene and ridiculous and everything wrong and right in this world. These are cookies and cream donuts. Donuts, who as if they weren’t enough on their own, needed chocolaty creamy bits folded into them and then a blanket of cream and crunched up Oreo cookies spread over the top of them. mm hmm.

Cookies and Cream Donuts

I’m sorry. I really have no defense except to say that I love donuts. And I love cookies and cream just about anything.

Cookies and Cream Donuts

So when I saw Cookies and Cream pieces at the store, I just sort of melted down and bought them (I BLAME HERSHEYS!!)

Cookies and Cream Donuts

When Pete came home, he just sort of looked at me like to make sure that I was ok. (Turns out I had chocolate crumbs all over the front of my shirt.) But the girls thought they were great! They helped mix, bake and frost to their delight. (Please note that Pia is still wearing her witches costume from Halloween).

Cookies and Cream Donuts

Delight your kids too. Or, ahem, yourself…..

To make Cookies and Cream Donuts, this is what you do:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a donut pan well with baking spray.

Roughly chop the cookies and cream pieces and set aside.

Either spoon the batter into the prepared pan, or transfer the batter to a Ziploc or piping bag, snip the end and pipe into the donut pan (a little neater this way).
Bake the donuts until just cooked through and golden on top 10-12 minutes.
