Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do I need to say more. . ? Okay I will these cookies are to die for.  Seriously, so good.  They are pretty simple to put together and make a great presentation.  From the outside they look like a giant chocolate chip cookie, but when someone takes the first bite they are pleasantly suprsied by American's favoirte cookie tucked nicely inside!

Now a word of advice on these; most cookies are best right out of the oven, my husband rarely eats any cookie unless it is still warm, but these get better with age, trust me on this.  If you eat them within the first few hours after having been baked, you loose the taste of the Oreo.  It is still delicious, but you can't make a distinction between the chocolate chip cookie and the Oreo.  I was kind of disappointed when I first made these, they were good, but didn't taste much different than a regular chocolate chip cookie and I wondered what I was doing with these extra calories that didn't  change the flavor.  However, when I opened the cookie jar the next morning for breakfast : )  I was pleasantly surprised to find out the cookies tasted way better the next day and you could definitely taste the Oreo, yummy!  So do yourself a favor and bake these ahead of time!
