Valentine's Day treats

Thanks to a little free time and internet browsing, I stumbled upon a delicious recipe that men, kids, and friends will love (trust me on this, I speak from experience). These Oreo stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are a perfect gift for your Valentine this February 14th. Quick and easy to make and taste absolutely sinful. You can mix up the Oreo flavors and really make it your own.. Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!


Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies


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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars together with a mixer until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

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 cookie scoop 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. Place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Makes about 2 dozen VERY LARGE cookies.
