Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oh my goodness, these have got to be the naughtiest cookies I have ever made. Naughty!! But SOooooo good! The recipe is of course Jenny Flake's, of Picky Palate, famous recipe and it is to die for. The ooey gooey richness of the slightly melty Double Stuf Oreo in the middle is incredible. It really is a hugely delicious cookie. Depending on how much cookie dough you cloak these bad boys in, you get anywhere from 12-24 cookies. I made monsters, so I only got 12. Next time I think I'll make them a little smaller.

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (plus 1/4 cup for high altitude)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1, 10 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
12-24 Double Stuf Oreo Cookies

Preheat oven to 350. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner (I used stoneware baking sheets, so I didn't use parchment or silicone liners).

Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.

In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then add the chocolate chips, beating until just combined.

With a large cookie scoop, take one scoop of dough and place it on top of an Oreo. Take another scoop of dough and place it on the bottom of the Oreo. Seal the edges together by pressing and cupping the dough in hand until the Oreo is completely enclosed and is in the shape of a patty. Repeat with remaining dough and cookies.

Place the stuffed cookies onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-17 minutes, until cookies are cooked through. Let cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
