Oreo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not much of a baker but when I saw a picture of a peanut butter cookie with an Oreo stuffed inside of it, I decided to put on my apron and chef hat and pretend I was anyway.  I mean, who can resist something like this?! My 2 favorite cookies, combined into one........SCORE! Here's how you can make your own!

*Warning* These might become addictive. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Oreo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

2 sticks of unsalted butter 
1 cup peanut butter (I prefer Jif) 
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 package of regular Oreo cookies

2 Bowls

Preheat Oven to 375. 

In the 1st bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until smooth.  

Add the eggs and make sure they are completely mixed in. 

In your other bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. 

Slowly stir in flour mixture, 1/3 at a time until completely mixed. This was a good arm workout! I had to stop a few times and shake my arms out! 

Now you are ready to start assembling your cookies.  Start by placing 1 Tablespoon of your peanut butter cookie dough on top of an Oreo cookie. Take a 2nd tablespoon and place it underneath the Oreo.  Gently press the dough around the Oreo cookie, sealing the cookie dough edges together. You should not be able to see the Oreo cookie through the dough. 

Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until cookies have just started to brown around the edges.  I baked mine on a Wilton baking sheet for 8 minutes and they were perfect! What you get when you are finished is a delicious peanut buttery, chocolaty piece of Heaven. 

Go ahead. Eat more than one. I won't tell anybody.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
