Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Cory

In my swan song to sugar, I made the ultimate in deliciousness: oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies.  The things turned out the size of baseballs. This *could* be because I used double stuff oreos (I thought: go big or go home).  I did refrain from triple stuffed, which I did not even know existed before my trip to the devil store (oh, oreo...what will you think of next?)  These aren't even "Newman O's" - I went with the HFCS, god knows what else, chemical-laden, worth-the-cancer legit oreos.  And...man, are they good.  

I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to get diabetes, a tummy ache, or is just serious about their desserts in a nearly competitive way (my BFF Suzanne and Steve had a cookie-off, which they both likely regretted later).  So, for all of the HARD CORE cookie lovers out there, he's how it went down:

• 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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a mixer until well combined.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In medium bowl mix the flour, salt, and baking soda.  Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.

Then, make 2 fairly flat chocolate chip cookies by mashing the hell out of the dough between your palms.  Place a delicious, delicious Oreo cookie on top of one cookie and place the other flat-ish chocolate chip cookie on top.  Seal the seams of the two chocolate chip cookies, engulfing the Oreo in even more goodness.

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