Double Thumbs Up: Cookie-stuffed Cookies

“Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.”
~William Shakespeare {Romeo & Juliet}

So now that I'm some sort of "blogger" now, I've been looking up blogs written by friends and even by complete strangers, and most if not all had something interesting to say. I also get lots of useless emails that are 90% useful and the other 10% are actually worth looking at--and here's an instant where a 10%-type email inspired something quite...frabjous.

I definitely don't take credit for this recipe, but I definitely took the liberty of giving it a try and it turned out to be a success! I can now say that it is truly possible to bake cookies...inside of cookies. Followers, I give you the Cookie-Stuffed Cookies.

They're oreos baked inside chocolate chip cookies {although I think this could very well be a mix-and-match recipe}. Certainly helps you decide which kind of cookie you want, or you can at least eat two in the disguise of just one, hehe.

Here is the original, and the credit is due to the original genius:

and here's the recipe that I used (a faster version):

I would definitely try the second link, only because the ingredients are easier to deal with {you use cookie dough already made v. making your own dough} and seriously, it cuts out a ton of prep time.

One thing I want to add to the recipe: how to friggin put the chocolate chip cookie dough over the oreos. I had to figure it out myself {or maybe I'm not so good w/ directions} but here's a simple tip:

    When you're ready with the dough, and you have all the 1in. balls of cookie dough, just split   

    what you have. Then squeeze one of the halves between your palms so it's super flat. You then

    just lay it over the top of the oreo and tuck the edges over the sides. You do the same for the

    other half and cover the other side of the cookie. It's that simple.

I actually tried to just smear the dough all over and that was just plain stupid. Don't be a fool! You'll realize that manipulating cookie dough is ridiculous bidness.

Give 'em a try! My brothers really liked 'em... in fact they were the ones who pushed me to making them a few days ago; it was either make the cookie-stuffed cookies or they threatened to eat all the oreos. You know what I had to do!
