Chocolate Chip Stuffed Oreo Cookies

We made this for our Christmas Baskets last year.  And they were so good fresh out of the oven! Ooey gooey, packed full of chocolatey yumminess.  And no, I'm not exaggerating!  Once they're cool they're still good, but who doesn't LOVE cookies when they're steamy hot right out of the oven?  These cookies definitely are not for those watching their calories. But, for those who are not concerned about it, or who are looking to make that sweet tooth be satisfied, look no further. 

Chocolate Chip Oreo Stuffed Cookies

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 2 Sticks Softened Butter 
• 3/4 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Tbsp. Pure Vanilla
• 3 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1 (12 oz) Bag Chocolate Chips(I used semi-sweet)
• 1 Bag Oreo Cookies 

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. 
• In a mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined. 
• Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
• In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. 
• Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined. 
• Using a tablespoon  or a cookie scoop if you have one, take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an oreo cookie.
• Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of oreo cookie. 
• Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until oreo cookie is enclosed with dough.  This is a fun step, so if you have kids, ask them to help, and if you don't, you'll definitely feel like one again.
• Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until cookies are baked to your liking. 
• Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. 

Before they go in the oven.  Be sure to round them up!
