Oreo Stuffed Cookies

One of my friends made Oreo Stuffed Cookies for her hubby on their anniversary.  I cannot take responsibility for this idea.  She shared the recipe with me and you can check it out here.  I told my husband about the recipe and he wanted to go to the store to get Oreos so I could make the cookies that night.  So that we did and experienced these insane cookies!  A triple cookie in one that I force-fed to the girls at work that are on a diet.  It was one's birthday so it was time for a little (or huge) treat!

 

But I kept thinking, I can make this recipe worse!  That became my project today....

I had some extra peanut butter frosting in the frige from my husband's birthday cake.  Don't ask me for a recipe.....it is peanut butter, vegetable shortening, and powdered sugar mixed together until I achieve the right consistency and taste.  Sometimes butter, vanilla, or other things get added, depending on my mood.  Anyway, I chopped up some Oreos and dumped a small plop of frosting (yes, that is the exact measurement) onto the chopped cookies.  I made some balls with that mixture that looked like this:

I used my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  A flat pancake of cookie dough was formed around the ball of Oreo and peanut butter.  In the oven they went!  They looked so pretty when the came out of the oven.  I had to be proud of the presentation.  Presentation is everything!  

My husband tried one and didn't seem too impressed at first but then said these are pretty good.  From him, that is an amazing compliment!  We discussed the recipe and decided they need more peanut butter.  Either peanut butter-chocolate chip dough on the outside or at least a bit of peanut butter flavoring.  Try 'em and let me know what you think or send me your version!
