Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are too good to put into words. Make them. I happenednto "stumble upon" this recipe from the Very Culinary website which is where the unbelievable picture below came from, in addition to my own photos from my first trial run. They are easy to make and although it may seem like you have enough dough for two dozen cookies, the recipe actually makes around 10 gigantic cookies (despite what the recipe on VeryCulinary.com says) which pretty much look like mini pies since they have to be large enough to fit an Oreo in the center. Share these or you will eat them all. Here's what you'll need:


Ingredients: 
• 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 package Double Stuff Oreo cookies


Directions:
Oven to 350 degrees.


In a bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with a mixer (or whisk) until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and blend until batter is smooth. Set aside.


In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine and then slowly add this dry mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients just until combined. Add chocolate chips and fold into the batter without over mixing.


With a cookie scoop (or just your hands) form balls with the dough, making sure they are large enough to fit an Oreo cookie when slightly flattened into a disk shape.


Select two balls of dough, one to cover the top of the Oreo and the other to cover the bottom. Flatten one ball slightly to accommodate the Oreo cookie. Turn up the edges of the dough so they somewhat wrap along the sides of the Oreo. Place the other ball of dough on top and form to fit and cover the other half of the Oreo. Seal the edges of the dough by pinching all the sides together so that the Oreo is no longer visible (yes, they will look huge)


Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet or a greased baking sheet and bake cookies for approximately 13 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.


Pour an ice cold glass of milk and enjoy!
