Yield: 6 Giant Oreo-Stuffed Cookies
Ingredients:
- 145g (about 2/3 cup) Butter, softened
- 120g (about 1/2 cup) Brown Sugar
- 20g (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 195g (about 1 1/2 cups) All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 160g (about 1 cup) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- 6 Oreo Cookies
Method:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this aside for later.
- To the butter and sugar mixture, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to over-mix the dough—stop as soon as the flour is just combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Place the cookie dough in the freezer for 30-45 minutes. This step helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle.
- After chilling, take a large ice cream scoop full of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place an Oreo cookie in the center and gently wrap the dough around the Oreo, ensuring it's fully enclosed.
- Once all the cookies are formed, put them in the fridge for another 30 minutes to chill. This helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
- While the cookies chill, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- After chilling, place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced well apart.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown but the centers remain soft and slightly under-baked for a gooey texture.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
