25 Days of Cookies: Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Connie Yoon
December 10, 2012

Connie recommends wrapping your cookie dough around some Oreos to make these special Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I won’t lie and say that my family is talented at baking. But, it’s really hard to mess up chocolate chip cookies. Not only is it simply mixing and mashing the ingredients together, it’s the classic cookie that no one can hate. However, I have a sweet tooth and enjoy this cookie with a sweeter twist. These Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies look like normal cookies on the outside but have the best filling, far exceeding jelly. Take your regular cookie dough, but wrap it around an oreo. The difference will be a wonderful surprise.

Here’s the recipe for chocolate chip cookies that I prefer:
http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/original-nestl%C3%89-toll-house-chocolate-chip-cookies/detail.aspx

Enjoy!
