Chocolate Chip cookies are a classic for a reason. So are Oreo cookies. They’re both REALLY good. But what if you combined these amazing cookies? What if you could have the best of both worlds in one super cookie?
BOOM. You can. These cookies literally have cookies in them. Take a bite and you’ll be in heaven.
These chewy chocolate chunk cookies (I used chunks instead of chocolate chips just as a personal preference) feature little crumbles of Oreo cookies (as you can probably tell by the photos). They just melt in your mouth. The Oreos add an extra, gentle sweetness and texture to these soft, chewy cookies.
It’s so fun to take a break in the middle of the day and reach for these cookies. I love to slowly break them apart and eat them in bite-size pieces. And in my opinion, they’re somehow even better when they’re just ever-so-slightly warmer than room temperature.
If your sweet tooth is anything like mine, by now you’re probably wondering how you’re going to make these.
Easy. This recipe is easy. In fact, the hardest part is waiting for the dough in the refrigerator. How are you supposed to focus on anything else when delicious cookie dough is waiting for you in the fridge? Grab your stand mixer (you can use a hand mixer, too. You won’t be hunched over the mixing bowl for hours), and get ready to make these supercookies. I think I just made that word up, and I’m going with it.
Note: Resist temptation to eat cookie dough before making cookies. It’s really hard, that’s why I’m making a note. This recipe was adapted from Joy The Baker, and she also left a note about the cookie dough.
Also remember that you shouldn’t eat raw cookie dough. Food safety, guys. (But I know most of you are rebels.)
Okay, okay. Here’s the recipe:

Instructions
