Sin in the Oven

Cookies people....I am referring to cookies.  A little sinful treat here on this delightful Sunday in September.  This afternoon I baked up a ridiculously awesome cookie that I first read about in this magazine.  The original recipe calls for a homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I cheated and bought two rolls of generic chocolate chip cookie dough.  I know, I know.....terrible, but tasty.

I used two rolls of chocolate chip cookie dough and one box of Oreo cookies.  Seriously, this recipe is about combining those two delectable cookies.  I used a cookie scoop to make sure I had even proportions and placed one scoop on the top and one scoop on the bottom of an Oreo....just like this.  

Next, I squished the dough all around the Oreo until it was hidden in the middle.  Then I placed them on a baking tray that was lined with parchment paper.  They will spread a bit, so leave a bit more room than you see in this picture. 

I baked them per the instructions on the package of the cookie dough.  For me that was for 9-12 minutes at 350 degrees.  11 minutes was perfect in my oven.  Then I allowed them to cool on the kitchen island.  They look a bit lumpy.  Lumpy is good. 

Here is a very scientific cross section of this masterpiece. 

They are delicious.  Make them....because I said so.
