Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Have you ever been eating a chocolate chip cookie and thought to yourself, "You know what would go really well with this?  An Oreo!"?  Well, you should've.  It's fantastic.  Putting Oreos into other things is often delicious: cookies 'n' cream milkshakes/candy bars, deep fried Oreos, and, as it turns out, chocolate chip cookies with Oreos in the middle of them.  These are delicious and ridiculously decadent.  Each cookie has between 2 & 3 normal chocolate chip cookies' worth of dough around it, with an Oreo in the middle.  I ate half of one and now I have a sugar high.

As usual, I halved the recipe; I only got 9 cookies out of it.  I also ran out of brown sugar, so I substituted white sugar + molasses.  I used half real Oreo cookies and half Simple Truth brand chocolate sandwich cookies (which are like Oreos but with an ingredient list that contains mostly things I'm familiar with).  The real Oreos got softer & squishier, while the Simple Truth cookies kept their shape a little more; if I hadn't eaten them side-by-side, I probably wouldn't have known the difference.  It's also possible that these differences are what happens when you eat one fresh out of the oven and one 15 minutes later (despite the knowledge that you'll probably feel sick after eating the second one -- to be fair, I only ate 1/2 of each).


1 stick butter, softened (half melted)
1/8 cup brown sugar
7/8 cup white sugar
1 tsp molasses
1 egg (or 1 egg substitute)
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
5 oz chocolate chips
9 Oreos (give or take a few)

Mix everything but the Oreos together as if you were making normal chocolate chip cookies.  Take each Oreo and completely cover it with cookie dough.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
