Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies

I knew once I saw these cookies on Donna's blog, they would be a popular item in my home. Oreos tend to be my husband's favorite cookie and he is quickly turning my son into an addict as well. I am sure that as soon as my daughter is allowed solid foods, he'll have her jump on the bandwagon. This was a bit of an experiment for me. . . traditionally I can have a big plate of warm, freshly baked cookies sitting on the counter and he will still go into the pantry for the Oreos. How conflicted he must have been once seeing these! :)

(One note is that Donna's recipe says this will make 50 cookies. I don't know if I made mine too big or not, but I only got 36 cookies. If you want more, which you will once tasting them, I'd go ahead and double it.)

Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies
1 stick softened butter
6 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
8 oreo cookies, broken into pieces
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Beat together the butter and sugars until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla until mixed well. Place flour, baking soda, and salt in large bowl and stir to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix. Add your oreos and chocolate chips, stirring just until combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto parchment or silpat lined cooie sheet. Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until cooked, but still soft. (My cookies took more like 12 minutes to get nice and brown.) Let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cookie rack.
