Oreo®-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the recipe that works for me in order to make my delicious and famous cookies that also have another cookie inside! Special feature: cinnamon adds a mysterious yet delicious change to that average chocolate chip cookie flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips
• 0.5 (14 ounce) package chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil.
2. Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for at least 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon; beat on low speed until incorporated and fluffy, about 1 minute.
3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again. Mix in 1 cup of flour and baking powder until incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of flour. Fold in remaining 1 cup flour with chocolate chips until nicely incorporated.
4. To form cookies, press 1 tablespoon batter between your hands and flatten slightly. Put an Oreo® on top and add another tablespoon dough on top of the Oreo®. Shape dough softly around the cookie to sandwich it. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat to form remaining cookies, spacing them 1 inch apart on the sheets.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
