BASKET OF COOKIES RECIPES

At one time Nabisco actually conducted a study to determined that 50 percent of Oreo consumers twist the cookie apart before eating it. I guess this is important information since it concerns the world's top-selling cookie. Historians at Nabisco aren't sure who came up with the idea for this sandwich cookie back in 1912, but they do know that it was introduced along with two other cookie creations that have long since died. The name may have come from the Greek word for mountain, oreo, which would once have made sense because the first test version was hill-shaped. When the Oreo was first sold to the public, it was much larger than today's cookie, but it kept shrinking over the years until Nabisco realized it had become too small and had to enlarge it again to today's current 1 3/4-inch diameter.  In 1975, Nabisco figured we couldn't have too much of a good thing, so the company gave us Double Stuf Oreos, with twice the filling. But why stop there? Now you're free to pile as much "stuf" on your cookies as you like. Watch this video demo: How to Clone an Oreo Cookie (plus how to make a really BIG Oreo!).

Our IP Version of SONNY’S BBQ’S Pulled Chicken with Tomatoes, Vinegar, and Brown Sugar. Texas and Kansas City barbecue mavens are going to have to sit down. We love the sweet and tangy pulled chicken from this Florida chain. To make it in the pot, we must use LOW pressure to keep the liquid as minimal as possible; otherwise, the chicken becomes soupy with sauce before it’s ready to be served. Don’t go too far when shredding the chicken: Leave it in somewhat bigger chunks, the way the restaurant does. We actually find cooling the meat and hand-tearing it (with clean hands, of course) yields the best texture. Sonny’s BBQ also offers a side with each sandwich: potato salad, corn, green beans, or coleslaw, among others. You should consider doing the same, although none are included as part of this main recipe — which produces really flavorful but fairly straightforward pulled chicken. At home, we deviate from the original and add pickle relish as well as pickled jalapeño rings to the sandwiches.
