Oreo Cookies on Steroids

You're going to have a love-hate relationship with these cookies. For me, love wins over hate, for sure.  I've started to CRAVE these cookies, luckily I don't have the nutritional value, and refuse to try and figure it out.  My best friend and I have game that I encourage you to try with these; if she eats one, and I eat one, we cancel each other out and it doesn't count.  Hey, it works.
Pictures are a little dark, I apologize.  I made these when I first started taking food pictures.  Bare with me, the end result is worth it.  Start by beating butter and sugars until well combined.
Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue beating.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda.  Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Add chocolate chips until just combined.
Using and ice cream scoop take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an Oreo Cookies.  Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of the Oreo Cookie.
Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in your hand until the Oreo is enclosed with dough.  Place on a lined baking sheet (I just sprayed with Pam.)  Bake cookies for 9-13 minutes at 350 degrees F.  I baked for around 10 minutes because I like the dough to be a little under cooked. 
Let cool for a coupe minutes before transfer to a cooling rack.  You'll need a large glass of milk with these bad boys. 
To burn some calories before eating these, hold a cookie in each hand, and lift them like weights.  They're heavy, they are two cookies in one after all.  I got this idea from Picky Palate.  She has made an art out of stuffing anything in the middle of a chocolate chip cookie, and it turning out delicious.  Which is exactly what these are.  You will want to take a nap after eating them, but they make your mouth water.  Great thing to bring into work, or to a party if you want people to compliment your baking skills for a couple hours! 

Ahhh the weekend, it's finally here!  Hope everyone enjoys it :)

  1. Definitely a love hate relationship with these. I loved each one but had to lay on the couch for awhile afterwards. You could consider these cookies a meal replacement because afterwards you feel as if you just finished thanksgiving dinner, but it's worth it.
