I have to say that I had very low expectations for this recipe. It just didn’t really appeal to me at all for some reason. It wasn’t until my brother requested these for this birthday dessert that I finally broke down and made them.
They are actually quite delicious. The chocolate chip cookie is firm but soft, and even the Oreo cookie softens up a little bit in the middle of the cookie. I will now humbly admit that I should’ve tried these years ago.
My girls got in on the fun, too. Their little hands were perfect for molding the dough around the Oreo cookie, and anytime they get to help me in the kitchen they love it. So if you have little ones, it’s a great recipe to get them involved.
After you prepare the dough, take two small scoops of dough (about a Tablespoon each, or a small cookie-scoop worth) and place one on top of the Oreo, and one on the bottom of the Oreo. Use your hands to mold the dough around the cookie and seal the edges. Smooth the dough into a slightly flattened disc, and let them bake until they’re just slightly golden brown.
These are ENORMOUS, so one cookie will be quite a commitment, but if you store them in an airtight container, they’ll stay perfectly soft and ready to enjoy for a couple of days.
Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper, and keep an eye on them while they’re baking. You don’t want to overbake these, a crispy, dry cookie wouldn’t not be good in this case.
Get the cold milk ready, and enjoy!
