This is like one of those crazy new sandwiches...you know where they take an excessive amount of wicked, unhealthy ingredients, stack them on top of each other and they do away with the bun all together?! These cookies are kinda like that. Oreo cookies stuffed into buttery chocolate chip cookies. I don't think I could bring myself to ingest the sandwich but the cookies I can handle. I dig them.
I included my recipe for classic chocolate chip cookies. I made a batch of minis for a party and I used the same recipe as the base for these awesome cookies.
Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies
Inspired by this recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup plus 2 tbs firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups plus 2 tbs all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large whole egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
12-15 Oreo cookies roughly chopped into quarters
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugars until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Whisk the egg, egg yolk and vanilla into the sugar/butter mixture.
Fold in dry ingredients. Fold in Oreos and chocolate chips.
Wrap cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto a cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart (I actually slice my dough into square chunks with a large knife). Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they no longer look wet and they are golden brown. After five minutes transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Origin: Unknown
Notes: This is a deeply flavored, chewy chocolate chip cookie. For the minis I dropped rounded teaspoons of dough on a baking sheet and baked them for about 10-12 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup plus 2 tbs firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups plus 2 tbs all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large whole egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugars until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Whisk the egg, egg yolk and vanilla into the sugar/butter mixture once cooled.
Fold in dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
