TWD: Baked Butter With a Few Other Things...

...then filled with a stuffing of lard, processed "marshmallows", and more sugar.

Yes, heart, I love you.

I personally think we here at TWD can pool together our resources and, for the same amount that we spend on butter, we can figure out a way to invest in Land O'Lakes and take over the company.  The net sales increased by $1.8 million dollars from 2007-2008. I think since the start of TWD, they must have seen double that increase this year.  Plus, revenues last year were around $9 billion. They made about $162 million in profit.

I don't believe that they are a public company, but I think we can work something out.

This week, Stefany of Proceed With Caution (click for recipe), chose these Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters.  I must say, though, that these cookies are some definite, definite keepers. Soft and chewy, artery-clogging goodness.  And really, is there anything better?

To take it up a notch, I wanted to replicate those Lil Debbie Cookies, so I googled some recipes. Most of them were just shortening and marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla.

Shortening and marshmallow fluff? Eh, why not? I bathe in butter now, so my body can take it.

Lil' Debby Filling

Cream together:

1/2 white vegetable shortening with
1.5 cups of marshmallow cream and
2 cups of powdered sugar and
1 tsp of vanilla.

If it's too stiff, add milk a teaspoon at a time until spreadable, but not runny

This tastes just like the real thing, but enhanced with peanut butter and chocolate chips. 

On a side note, I just got a MacBook. How did I live before the wonder of Apple?

My word, that's one decadent concoction you've got there! I lived on marshmallow fluff when I was a child. Peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, to be precise. You're giving me serious cravings! And boy, you're right about the butter. Your Land O Lakes musings had me chuckling.

[Sihan]

who cares about the butter.. they were so darn good!! haha. Congrats upon your little beauties!

[Ulrike]

I am impressed!

[LyB]

lol! I wish I'd thought of the fluff filling, that looks goooooood!

[Cathy]

I am loving the whole marshmallow filling idea! I think a little stuffing was exactly what was missing from my cookies. Great job!

[CB]

Oh.my.god. I HEART those oatmeal cream pies from Lil Debbie!! Darn I wish I hadn't given the rest of my cookies away. Now I have to try your marshmallow filling recipe. I'll just pretend I have no idea what shortening is when I make it. LOL. Great job!

haha, we should totally take over Land o' Lakes ;) that filling looks so good!!

[April B]

I'm thinking that the purchase of a dairy cow might be a good idea, cream and butter! Those cookies sandwiches look like a wonderful way to spoil my dinner.

[Michelle]

Very nice cookies. I love your idea of putting the filling in them. They look much better then little debs.

[Lori]

OH. MY. GOODNESS. And goodness has nothing to do with it. :) That looks so bad-for-me delicious!

[Jessica]

Great idea...I am now flashing back to those Little Debbie snacks. Yours look much tastier, of course. And I think we should either get part ownership in Land O' Lakes, or maybe they could throw us each a free pound or something!

[Melissa]

Oooohhh...those look great as ice cream sandwiches!

[Zoe]

ohhhh those look marshmallow-tastic..

[Natashya]

Wow, that is seriously over the top. I have never had a little debbie but I am going to guess she isn't so little.
We made these cookies last night, right after the beurre blanc, so I am feeling pretty buttery too!
Cheers.

[Carol Peterman]

They look messy and oh, so delicious!

[Mack]

I love what you did with the cookies... and I agree we use so much butter. I have started keeping only one cookie or one piece of what I make and giving the rest away otherwise I think I may turn into a stick of butter.

[Michele]

Wow! Do those look good! What a great idea about the Little Debbie snacks. I bet they turned out delicious.

[AnneStrawberry]

I'm with you about investing in butter. Everytime I buy it again and again I think I should (that and diapers... Huggies gets way too much cash from me!) :)

Great job on the cookies, the sandwiches look wonderful!

[Holly @ PheMOMenon]

Super yummy! Land o'Lakes aught to at least be giving us all some coupons that is for sure!

[Prudy]

I'm with you. Let's stage a LoL hostile takeover and be butter millionaires. They look wonderful.
