happy valentine's day!!

a couple days ago i saw a recipe for Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies on Becky Bakes!! chocolate cookies are a classic, so with that comes the risk of ruining an already perfected desert. but transforming them into a "stuffed" desert is a pretty safe way to go. i mean who doesn't love something that is exploding with different texture and flavor? so...in celebration of valentine's day i decided to give them a try. 

i made a couple dozen and put them in festive (heart) paper bags to give to my friends. i used classic Oreos, but while I was at the store it crossed my mind to purchase the peanut butter stuffed Oreos...maybe next time. anyways. enjoy this rich, chewy, chocolatey treat and have fun creating different variations. 

Ingredients:

2 sticks (1 C.) softened butter
3/4 C. packed light brown sugar
1 C. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 T. pure vanilla
3 C. flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
10 oz bag chocolate chips
1 pkg. Oreo cookies

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugars together until well mixed. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the batter. 

Once the dough is mixed, make several 1 inch balls. Place 1 on either side of the Oreo (as seen below) and gently press down until the edges seal together. 

Bake for 9-13 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool before serving or packaging for your valentine. 

Don't forget your glass of milk!
