My roommates have made Inception
cookies a few times. They are these
massive, but beautiful chocolate chip cookies with an oreo on the inside. These cookies are fabulously delicious, not
to mention funny. Have you seen
Inception? Well it is about dreams going
on inside other dreams. So a cookie
inside a cookie is hilarious, right?
Either way these cookies are good.
I am currently obsessed with Cool
Mint Oreos, so I wanted to rework the original inception cookie recipe to make
it minty. I exchanged the chocolate
chips for Andes Mint Pieces. You can buy
the mints and chop them yourself or just get the bag of prechopped chunks. I
also decided to use only a fourth of an oreo in each cookie because they bake
faster and turn out the size of a normal cookie.

Mint Inception Cookies: a cookie
within a cookie
Based
on a recipe by Picky Palate: http://picky-palate.com/2011/01/06/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 ½ cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup Andes mint pieces
8 cool mint oreos
Cream butter and sugars until
fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and soda, mix on low until combined
(dough will be thicker than normal cookie dough). Mix in Andes mint pieces. Cut oreos into quarters. Take a rounded tablespoon of dough and break
it in half. Put an oreo quarter between
the dough and form dough around the cookie.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes on 350 °F. Yield: 32 cookies
