- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Take a small amount of dough and flatten it into a disc in your hand.
- Place an Oreo in the center and mold the cookie dough around it, making sure the Oreo is completely covered.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and Oreos.
- Bake:
- Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart as they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
