Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

A week before Thanksgiving I made Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies in mini form! I adapted a recipe only slightly from one of my favorite food blogs, Picky Palate! The original recipe can be found here.

The list of ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup of brown sugar (I used dark brown and I like the softness it creates in the cookie)
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 bag of mini chocolate chips
1 bag of mini oreos

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet or two with aluminum foil to make clean-up quick and painless!

I melted the butter and combined the butter and both sugars in a bowl using a hand mixer. I then mixed in the eggs and vanilla to get my final product of wet ingredients.


In a separate bowl, I mixed the dry ingredients: salt, baking soda, flour. This gave me my dry ingredients.


Next, I combined them and added more than 3/4 the bag of the mini chocolate chips to get a delicious cookie dough. (Note, this cookie dough is moist and delicious. I may have eaten too much and ruined my dinner, but it was totally worth it)


After you have the dough, it's time to break out the mini Oreos. I used a teaspoon scoop to scoop the dough. Place one scoop on top and one scoop on the bottom of the Oreo and then press the sides together to seal the Oreo in place. Place on the cookie sheet until it's full and then bake until done. Mine took about 10 minutes.


Look at these babies!


These are definitely a crowd pleaser! I gave some to girls in my house and it was fun watching them bite into them without knowing about the surprise in the middle!



Who can go wrong with this combination? It was heavenly.
I would definitely recommend this recipe! It's made with simple ingredients and really easy. Plus clean-up was a breeze with only two bowls and the measuring cups and mixers, all of which is dishwasher safe! My last plug for these cookies is that they are small, which are often perfect for girls, who want something small to satisfy that sweet tooth. They are pretty much guilt-free, unless like me, you eat 10. :)
