Cookies and Cream Truffle Cookie Bars

I expect to be nominated for "Mother of the Year" for this one.


Cookies and Cream Truffle Cookie Bars
from Picky Palate
Makes 16

115g unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup mini chocolate chips
12 Oreo Cookies, broken up
26 Lindor balls, halved

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line a 20 x 20 cm baking pan with foil sprayed with cooking spray.

Place butter and sugars into a large bowl, stir to combine, at least 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, mixing to combine. Add dry ingredients, chocolate chips and oreo cookie pieces, stirring to combine.

Press 1/3 of the dough into the bottom of prepared baking pan. Top with 5 rows of the halved Lindor balls 5 per row which means you'll have to eat one half (cooks treat). Top with remaining dough and gently press. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 30 minutes, cut into squares and serve.
