Over the years I’ve made SO many cookies, especially while I was the host of POPSUGAR’s Eat The Trend and Get the Dish with Brandi Milloy. To celebrate National Cookie Day, I decided to pull together a round up of a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy and if you make any of them, be sure to post on social and use the hashtag #BrandisBites

If you're tired of showing up to 4th of July parties with the same berry flag cake (no offense), you've gotta stop what you're doing right now and make my patriotic oreo cheesecake bars.

They are super creamy with a chocolatey oreo crust and the red and blue swirls are actually pureed strawberries and blueberries (with a little gel food coloring for bold color)! These bars are relatively easy to make-the hardest part is waiting for them to set up! If you're short on time, follow the same fruit swirl technique using your favorite no bake cheesecake recipe!

I had so much fun making these on Home & Family.You can grab the full recipe here.

I love how these Oreo pancakes aren't too sweet so all you need is a bit of fresh whipped cream.

You really haven't lived until you've tried these Oreo pancakes! These delicious Oreo pancakes feature a chocolaty base with whole Oreos pressed into the center, layers of fluffy fresh whipped cream in between, and even more cookie crumble topping. This breakfast has Oreos crammed into every bite, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  What I love about this recipe is you can enjoy them in the morning, afternoon or even for dessert after dinner. Who says pancakes should only be enjoyed in the morning? Not me!

OREO PANCAKES by Brandi Milloy

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
10 Oreos, crushed
Oreos, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix. The batter will be lumpy. Stir in Oreos.

Heat griddle over medium-high heat and coat with butter. Using an ice cream scoop, pour batter onto griddle and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side. For extra Oreo flavor, add whole Oreos to the center of the pancakes.

Layer your pancakes with whipped cream in between, and top with even more whipped cream and crushed Oreos.
