YES! Nancy that sounds great plus a few apple chunks...

Yes this is a bit unsual but when you think that cookies are used in other recipes like my Sauerbraten Burgers which is what I had in mind when I made these using the vanilla wafers, the cookies tend to thicken the mixture and helps it to come together. I don't think of a sandwichwich cookie as being a good ingredient, but I will let you make it first and let us know how it is. SMILE a PLAIN COOKIE SEEMS MORE BEFITTING TO ME, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW IT JUST MIGHT BE THE RIGHT COMBINATION. SMILE

Ma, I already have a recipe Posted using Ginger snaps. I wanted to make it but was out of ginger snaps and opted to use Vanilla wafers instead because that is what I had. The recipe I have posted is called GINGER SNAP BAKED BEANS it is just that there is no picture, and I couldn't very well make this recipe and call it Ginger Snap baked Beans when I was actually using vanilla wafers. So I had to call it what it actually was. smile Just being honest, so I could stay true to the recipe. So now I have made it both ways, I just don't have a picture for the ginger snap recipe. Hopefully next time.

But I guess great minds do tend to think alike. Thanks for the suggestion.

Rose, I never would have thought to use cookies in my baked beans!! What a good idea. Am definitely going to try this.

Judy it really does work and they really do taste very good. The ginger Snap one is good too. The crumbs thicken up the liquids in the beans and it just some how brings the flavors together. Thanks for your comments. I made both recipes yesterday Meaty & Lean Baked Beans W/ Ground Chicken and my husband said that the one with the chicken tasted like the one I make when I use ground beef, but the one with the vanilla wafers really does taste different. They are both good, just a way to change things up a bit.

Sis I have never put "cookies" in my baked beans....very interesting.

I had not either, till I came across a recipe using ginger snap cookies, that recipe has been posted for a long time now, but it doesn't have a picture. I was going to make it to post a picture and discovered I was out of ginger snaps, so I made the recipe with a few minor changes using the vanilla wafers. Since I was out of the ginger snap, I thought that the vanilla wafers just might work, and they turned out very good.
