oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies

this was easier and more delicious than i expected!

OREO-STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. vegetable shortening
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. applesauce
2 c. chocolate chips
oreos

mix flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. beat shortening, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. add in applesauce and beat til smooth but fluffy. gradually add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture. mix in the chocolate chips (if you choose vegan-friendly chocolate, these cookies are 100% vegan-friendly!)

this is important! these cookies are all about structure and have to be shaped perfectly before baking, or they won’t turn out. (although i will say, i had a few “mistakes” myself that were yummy enough to make up for what they lacked in appearance!)

i found that the best way to do this is to roll a ball of dough that is standard cookie size (about one inch in diameter). then, push an oreo down on it, flattening it just a bit. finally, roll a ball of dough that is twice standard cookie size, flatten it in your hand, and then place it on top of the oreo, making sure the oreo is covered. it should look like this!

when these bake they spread out perfectly so the oreo is completely covered!

don’t be discouraged if they don’t turn out the first couple of tries! i didn’t have any trouble with them, but if you do i recommend using whole wheat flour or refrigerating the dough for a bit so it’s more firm

this recipe yields about a dozen giant, super-rich cookies. my friends loved eating them, so enjoy!
