mini oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies.

Isn't everything better in the mini version? Think about it: sliders, donut holes, miniature dachshunds, mini skirts, mini m&m's..... you get the idea.

Well, these cookies are the perfect little cookie to gobble up in one bite. I, however, still like to bite mine in half... just to see the cute little oreo inside.

And isn't the idea of a cookie inside a cookie just mouth-watering? It's like a..... a cannibal cookie. Is that politically correct? But that's what it is. It's like a chocolate chip cookie ate a mini oreo.

My friend Melissa (hi Melissa!), has been wanting to bake with me for a while. Well, last night we were finally able to! It worked out perfectly. I would scoop the cookie dough onto each side of the oreo and she would smoosh it all together so that it would surround the oreo! We made a great team, and the boys enjoyed eating the results!

I got a little frisky and added a Hershey's Nugget with Toffee to one of them :X

Not only were these cookies fun to make, but they are super yummy! I can't wait to stuff cookies with lots of different things... like brownies, mini candy bars, other kinds of cookies, and more! Jenny over at Picky Palate provides plenty of inspiration. She is the master of cookie-stuffing!

Mini Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe from Picky Palate

2 sticks butter (softened)

3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tbs vanilla

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

10 oz bag chocolate chips (I used mini, and I only used about half of a 12 oz bag)

Mini oreo's... I bought two snack-sized bags. It was plenty!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and sugars with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing after each addition, until all the ingredients are combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Using either a teaspoon or a melon baller, put one scoop of dough on the top and one scoop of dough on the bottom of each oreo. Like this:

Seal the edges together by pressing the cookie dough together on the sides. You may need to add a little more dough to enclose the entire cookie. Place onto the baking sheet and bake cookies 8-10 minutes.

Trust me, you'll need that extra-tall glass of milk for these babies.
