When Cookies Come Together

This is one of those recipes where your first reaction is going to be,"I wish I'd thought of that..." (which I do wish I had). And I can already imagine people's eyes popping out of their heads when they saw the recipe I am about to bestow upon you. If you're not a cookie fiend, chocolate fiend, or simply a fan of good old fashioned munchies, then you have stumbled onto the wrong blog. But if you can appreciate the art of bringing together the two most classic cookies of all time to make one gargantuan cookie, then read on my friends.


Here we have it: the Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie. Let me just say, you have been forewarned, these cookies are pretty big and would probably be most enjoyed with a glass of cold milk. 
I don't think I really need to explain further than that. 


Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe from "Picky Palate"

2 sticks (1 cup) softened butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 oz bag chocolate chips
1 pkg. Oreo double stuff cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix butter and sugars together until well combined.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda.Add to egg and sugar mixture until combined.  Using a spoon, take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an Oreo Cookie.  Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of Oreo cookie. 

Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until the Oreo cookie is enclosed with dough.  

Place onto a  sprayed baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

Makes about 2 dozen LARGE cookies.

I added a fork for size reference. Didn't quite do it justice.
