Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been quite a blog stocker lately and found several blogs talking about Oreo Chocolate Chip cookies. I L-O-V-E oreos so had to give them a try. As I mentioned I found them on several sites, so which to choose...a more cakey recipe or a chewy one. I tend to be more of a cakey person so gave that one a go. Cakey cookie and then adding more dry ingredients is not so bueno. So today I give it another try and found it..the perfect recipe. So Chewy it is!
A few suggestions to make sure that you get the great cookie: both recipes called for you to cook on parchment paper or greased and in my opinion it caused the bottom to brown to quickly. Next, this will make the difference between a dry cookie and an awesome cookie use: Double Stuff and only lightly smash the cookies or you will get a bunch of dry powder. The big chunks make a huge difference and the icing from the Double Stuff Oreos makes this cookie.

So here it is:

Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Idea from here

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
20 Double Stuff oreos, lightly smashed


Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Add in the crushed oreos. Beat on low speed for just a few seconds to break up the oreos in the dough. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.

Drop cookie dough a rounded tbsp at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
