<p>With all the Oreos I&#8217;ve picked up in the past week for the last <a href="http://www.extrachewy.ca/2011/03/31/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookie/" target="_blank">Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie</a>, and looking for something simpler and would produce a few more cookies for a big BBQ&#8230;I went on <a href="http://picky-palate.com/" target="_blank">Picky Palate</a> and found another &#8220;oreo cookie&#8221; recipe&#8230;and well, another great success!!! Everyone LOVED it!!!</p>
<p>Overnight, it&#8217;s a little hard, but OMG fresh??? It&#8217;s EXTRA CHEWY!</p>
<p>OK. So this is what you need.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<p>2 sticks softened butter<br />
1 cup granulated sugar<br />
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar<br />
2 large eggs<br />
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract<br />
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt<br />
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet<br />
1 cup cocoa powder<br />
15 whole Oreo Cookies, finely ground</p>
<p><strong>Instructions: </strong></p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.</p>
<p>2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.</p>
<p>3. Place flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add to wet ingredients along with cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, slowly mixing until just combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart from each other. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve with milk.</p>
<p>Makes 3 dozen cookies&#8230; and it&#8217;s best with vanilla ice-cream&#8230; heck use them to make ice-cream sandwiches with!!!  YUM!</p>

<div id="attachment_349" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 730px"><a href="http://www.extrachewy.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/199207_646762037693_116206471_37047283_1082125_n.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-349" title="Home Made Oreo Chocolate Cip Cookies" src="http://www.extrachewy.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/199207_646762037693_116206471_37047283_1082125_n.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="537" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies - made by me <img src='http://www.extrachewy.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So According to <a href="http://www.sweetspot.ca/SweetHome/bonnie_mo/">Bonnie Mo @ SweetHome.ca</a> she saw the recipe from <a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/01/06/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/">Picky Palate</a>&#8230; Jenny there made it really clear this is HER original recipe so&#8230; and you know how it is when it&#8217;s original&#8230; YUM!</p>
<p><strong>Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies<br />
</strong><em>recipe courtesy of <a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/01/06/chocolate-chip-oreo-cookie-sandwich/">Picky Palate</a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img class="size-full wp-image-346 aligncenter" title="making_oreo_stuffed_chocolate_chip_cookies" src="http://www.extrachewy.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/making_oreo_stuffed_chocolate_chip_cookies.jpg" alt="" width="456" height="152" /><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2 sticks butter, softened</li>
<li>3/4 cup packed brown sugar</li>
<li>1 cup white sugar</li>
<li>2 large eggs</li>
<li>1 tablespoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 package Oreo cookies – I used Double Stuf</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Directions: </strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer (you can also  use a hand mixer), cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs  and vanilla and mix until well combined.</p>
</div>
<p>In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add   to the wet mixture and combine thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips.</p>
<div>Chill the dough for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with and to keep the dough from spreading when baking.</div>
<p>Using a cookie scoop place one scoop of dough on top of an Oreo   cookie. Place another single scoop on the bottom of the Oreo to create a   cookie sandwich. Seal the edges together to completely close in the   Oreo.</p>
<p>Place the balls of cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and   bake for 9-13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a   wire rack.</p>

<p>Melt in your mouth goodness. And you can tuck a surprise in the center if you like!</p>
<p>This was in my Chatelaine Dec 2008 issue.</p>
<p>Preparation time 15 minutes<br />
Baking time 8 minutes<br />
Makes 42 cookies</p>
<p>Ingredients:<br />
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour or 21/2 cups (625 mL) cake and pastry flour<br />
3/4 cup (175 mL) ground almonds, about 100-g pkg<br />
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt<br />
1 cup (250 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature<br />
1 cup (250 mL) sifted icing sugar<br />
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla<br />
1 cup (250 mL) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)</p>
<p>Directions:</p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). In a medium bowl, stir flour with almonds and salt until evenly mixed. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium, beat butter with 1/2 cup (125 mL) icing sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed or using a wooden spoon, beat flour mixture into butter mixture.</p>
<p>2. Scoop about 1 tbsp (15 mL) dough and flatten into a disc. To add a chocolate centre, press 2 chocolate chips or 1 chocolate chunk into centre of the disc. Roll dough around chocolate, forming a 1-in. (2.5-cm) ball. Repeat with remaining dough and chocolate. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart.</p>
<p>3. Bake in centre of oven until puffed and golden on bottom when lifted, from 8 to 10 min. Remove cookies to a rack to cool for 5 min. Place remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) icing sugar in a shallow bowl. Then roll warm cookies in sugar until evenly coated and return to rack to cool completely.
