Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whitney being home means one thing, some baking is going to happen. I can't believe she made it three weeks without doing it but she made up for it with this recipe. I like to bake but don't do too many desserts because I don't need that stuff in the house just taunting me. But Whitney has no qualms about making decadent dessert. She had a work meeting today to take them to.

She found this recipe at PickyPalate and made them all by herself. When I read it I thought boy are those going to be big cookies. And they were HUGE. I actually didn't eat one but the taste tester said delicious.

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks softened butter

3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar

1 Cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla

3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

10 oz bag chocolate chips

1 bag Oreo Cookies, I used the double stuff 

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.   In a stand or electric mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined.  Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined.

2.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda.  Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.  Using a cookie scoop 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 Oreo Cookie is enclosed with dough.  Place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until cookies are baked to your liking.  Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.  Serve with a tall glass of milk, enjoy!

Makes about 2 dozen VERY LARGE Cookies
