Now on to these cookies. I made them for another round of a Bake Swap hosted by Amy (Second City Randomness) and Jess (Stylish, Stealthy & Healthy). These treats were sent to Leanna of The Skinny Architect. When I found a box of DQ Oreo Blizzard creme Oreos I knew they would be the perfect thing to incorporate into this bake swap. I have been eyeing the different versions of Oreo stuffed cookies all over the foodie blogosphere and it seemed time to finally try it out for myself. I am so glad that I did! They Oreo becomes softer after being baked inside the cookie and it’s a wonderful surprise inside of an already delicious cookie. They may not be the most glamorous looking cookies, but they make up for it in every bite.

[…] Blizzard Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Cookies […]
my mom’s sour cream softies cookies with chocolate chips thanks
To be utterly sappy, I’d have to go with my grandma’s chocolate chip cookies. Man, those things were so salty, but they just trigger so many wonderful memories. My uncle cooked a batch recently, and I might have teared up when I took that first bite. (And it was hilarious that the only people who would eat the cookies were the grandkids and her kids. Too salty for anyone else!)
The best cookie I ever had was simply chocolate chip cookies that my mom made. She makes the best cookies!
OH SNAP – I WANT! OK – I think I’m yelling, but these cookies are awesome! The best cookie I’ve ever had are gingersnaps. Soft chewy gingersnaps. I can eat like 20 in one sitting… Then I can’t stand up; but it’s totally worth it.
I am a sucker for a classic chocolate chip cookie!
My favorite cookie: Chocolate chip with macadmia nuts
I’ve been wondering about these Blizzard oreos! that is my favorite Blizzard flavor.
my favorite cookie is either from Mrs. Field’s or a Carol’s cookie from Whole Foods
Do French Macaroons count as a cookie?? If not, then browned butter chocolate chip cookies!!
My grandmother’s Italian cookies!
The best cookie I’ve ever had is probably the chocolate chip cookie… it was the first cookie I ever had (that I could remember) so it has a special place in my heart/taste buds. :)
The best cookie I’ve ever had would have to be the giant cookies at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO. I think it’s because it’s connected to great childhood memories of sharing those cookies and sipping hot cocoa while looking at the most beautiful Christmas lights I’ve ever seen!
Best cookie that I can remember was a melt in your mouth goog Shortbread Cookie.
This cookie looks amazing! I have seen those Oreo’s, but have fought off buying them!! The best cookie ever – that is next to impossible! I will have to go with my favorite chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven.
omgomgomg. WANT.
I fear if I make these I will be found on the floor in a cookie coma, but I think it will be worth the risk.
And the best cookie I ever had has to be the white chocolate peanut butter pretzel cookies I made over the summer. Salty + sweet = perfection.
the best cookie i’ve had was definitely my friend kaylie’s pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip…i know it sounds basic but it was literally UH MAZE ING! i ask her to make me some every Fall :) love love love this spatula!
Hmm. The best cookie I’ve EVER had?? That’s a tough question (predictably). I think I’ll have to go with the Levain Bakery dark chocolate and peanut butter cookie. That thing weighs a quarter of a pound and you’ve got to eat it with a fork…it’s a cookie meal. But so worth every calorie.
my mom’s sugar cookies.
