Cookie-holics: Little Nellie's Brownie Cream Pie Cookies (Class 10/12)
The Bergens were convinced that the only way to be happy was to eat a Troll, but that's only because they'd never eaten one of these fluffy, cream-filled, soul-satisfying, lip-smacking, please-let-me-have-all-of-them, homemade Oreo cookies.

Have you ever found yourself craving the next cookie while half a cookie is already in your mouth? You're in good company. In this and each of the 11 other classes covered in the Cookie-holics Club, you'll walk out of the kitchen with a fresh batch of cookies that will last about as long as ice cream on a hot day. Joyfully confused faces will surround you as questions like "How did you make these?", "Where did you buy these?", and "When will you bake these again?" shower down from a cookie-captivated crowd of friends and family. Come be my partner in cookie crime as I share a few tips I've picked up over the years that will turn the tide in your baking abilities. People find happiness in different things, but everybody will find happiness in these Oreo-like cream-filled chocolate cookies. It's a given! As long as you know how to use a beater or a KitchenAid, you're all set.
Learning Goals
Students will finish this course with the ability to win every argument and any friend with one plate of cookies, made from scratch and baked to perfection. We'll gather and prepare our ingredients, talk about alternatives (what happens if you don't have eggs?), measure them out, discuss the importance (or unimportance?) of order, mix them together, form them into those to-die-for cookie dough balls of just the right size, and bake them in the oven for baby and me - and everybody else, if they're behaving.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
As this class will take place in the kitchen, I strongly advise parental guidance. We will be using the oven and beaters, both of which have the potential to cause harm. Please also be aware that this recipe uses eggs. Thank you!
Supply List
The list of ingredients will be emailed once the learner is enrolled and should be found in the classroom, but in case you don't see it, here's what you'll need: 1.5 sticks of butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, an egg, flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, 1/4 cup of shortening, and powdered sugar. Feel free to send me a message too, I'm usually pretty quick to respond! You'll definitely need an oven, and preferably an electric mixer of some sort, though that isn't 100% necessary. Hopefully I'll see you in a bit!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
"Don't get me an Instant Pot for my birthday, I'll never use it."
My husband shifted uncomfortably on the couch. "Oh... yeah okay, those are just frivolous indulgences anyway."
Little did I know, the newly purchased appliance was already wrapped and tucked away, in eager anticipation of the big celebration. Talk about awkward, right?
Don't worry. Fast forward a few years, throw a few more Instant Pots into the kitchen, and I cringe at the thought that I ever had a life without that bequeathed-from-heaven gift to the world. What can I say, though! Old habits die hard, and learning new stuff is intimidating. If not for the patience and sometimes bribery employed by my folks as a kid, I'm pretty sure all my sneakers would still have Velcro and my bike would still have training wheels!
Anyway. I'm Channelle! I eat pizza every Friday. Religiously. I'm a Saskatchewan-born Canadian, living in southern Utah right now, I run races, and have a slight(ly alarming) cookie-baking obsession. Is that okay? I chose to study neuroscience in my undergrad, and I finished in a little over two years - summa cum laude. I was handpicked by professors to TA in their classes, instructing neuroanatomy labs, training rats, and grading behavioral psychology exams, and by request, I also volunteered in the bio department as a tutor for anatomy and physiology classes. Those were the days! I've been teaching English for the past three years, and just last year, I graduated with my MBA. I have a Mickey-loving son, a dimpled-but-front-toothless daughter, a fat baby boy, and they are my world - even when I'm hiding in the pantry with a huge tub of peanut butter and an Agatha Christie novel. Favorite animal, elephants; favorite color, pale pink; favorite food, pizza; favorite Avenger, arguably Dr Strange.
Learning is intimidating, yes, but it is also exhilarating to understand just a little better about how the world and everything in it works. Who knows where we'd be without books and scholars and schools! Come hang out with me. We'll trade in your Velcro for shoelaces, and get those training wheels off, because guess what? Learning is fun!
