Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies

Oreos have a special place in my heart.  Obviously, considering the past two batches of cookies I've made have featured them rather prominently.

When I was a kid, I could never decide whether I would rather twist apart the halves and eat the center first, or dunk them in milk until they were deliciously disintegrating.

I think these cookies definitely capture all the goodness that is the Oreo.  They're a cookie within a cookie (kind of like a dream within a dream).



What makes these cookies even better is the chocolate and white chocolate chips accompanying the Oreo chunks in each cookie.  I whipped these up for the Game of Thrones season 2 premier party.  That show, and the books, are great by the way, and anyway, these cookies were a big hit.  Hope you enjoy!

3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa.  


In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating at medium speed, then add vanilla.  


Slowly add the flower mixture, mixing slowly just until the flour disappears.  Stir in Oreos, followed by the chocolate chips.
