Triple Chocolate Oreo Cookies

Category: Cookies

Yield: 30-36 cookies, depending on size.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
8-10 Oreos, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

1.In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat both sugars, butter, vanilla, and eggs until smooth. Beat in melted baking chocolate and cocoa powder. Beat in flour and baking soda until well blended. Stir in all the chocolate chips and Oreo pieces.

2.Chill dough for at least 1 hour. You can also chill it for about 30 minutes, then scoop balls of dough on the cookie sheets and chill those for about 10 minutes and you’ll net the same result as chilling the bowl of dough for an hour.

3.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment or a silpat. Drop cookie dough balls (I used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop) onto your cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. (The dough does spread). Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the top just stop looking glossy (you’ll start to smell them too). Cool completely before removing from cookie sheets.
