oreo-stuffed cookies

If you are on a diet then I suggest you look away. Look away! I am on a serious health kick so posting recipes/drool-worthy pictures of yummy treats is my release. This is just one of those releases. Oreo-stuffed cookies. A cookie within a cookie? Oh yum. I was scrolling through recipes and my heart stopped when I saw this picture. How sweetly scrumptious does that cookie look? Thanks, Lovin' from the Oven, for really twisting the cake knife.

Here is the recipe, if you have a cheat day coming up...

Ingredients:

2 sticks butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 package Oreo cookies

Preparation:

Cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.Refrigerate the dough for an hour.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Scoop a ball of cookie dough on top of the Oreo and another below, sandwiching the Oreo in between. Flatten the cookie dough and seal the sides, completely covering the Oreo.Place the cookies at least two inches apart on a baking sheet and bake for 9-13 minutes.

Makes about two-dozen jumbo cookies. Dip that in a huge glass of milk!
