Maple Oreo Stuffed Cookies

Maple Oreo Stuffed Cookies.  Whhhhhaaaatttt?!?!  Ok.  Before you think I have gone totally crazy, these maple cookies are stuffed with a SPECIAL variety of Oreo cookie.  And it is probably the BEST Oreo cookie variety yet!  So I figured, why not stuff homemade maple brown sugar cookie dough with Oreo’s, and then bake it into massive-sized cookies?  Yup.  Brace yourself…these cookies are not for the faint of heart.

You know, when I was a kid, we only had one variety of Oreo cookies: the classic chocolate cookies with the (lard filled) vanilla cream.  Nabisco doesn’t use lard in their Oreo cookie recipe anymore just in case you were wondering.  But now Oreo has a ton of varieties of their cookie, with special and limited edition varieties hitting certain stores throughout the year.  So what variety of Oreo beats out the original??

Waffles & Syrup variety Oreo cookies!!  Ummmm.  Are you freaking out?!  I did!  These Oreo’s are amazing!  If you can find these Oreo’s at the store, you must buy them and try ’em out.  I found mine at Safeway (I live in Northern California).  If you can’t find this variety of Oreo cookie, then you could use the vanilla variety of Oreo’s with vanilla cream filling instead, to make this recipe.

So how do we take an amazing Oreo cookie and make it better?  Well, we make a maple brown sugar cookie dough and stuff a Waffles & Syrup Oreo in the middle, roll the cookie ball in sugar and bake!  That’s how!

Maple extract or maple flavoring gives the dough that hint of maple flavor.  You can find maple extract in the grocery store next to the vanilla extract.

After you make the cookie dough, you will need to chill it for 15-20 minutes in the freezer, so it isn’t too sticky to work with.  Then you take about 1/3 cup of chilled dough and work it completely around an Oreo cookie, covering the Oreo entirely in cookie dough.  Place dough balls in the refrigerator to chill again, for 2-hours or overnight.  Once chilled, roll dough balls in sugar and BAKE!

One cookie will satisfy any craving…but I am pretty sure I could eat this entire plate if left alone with these cookies for too long.

These cookies are EPIC.

My Chief Tasting Officer was on hand to take a bite of one of these stuffed cookies, to show you the middle of the cookie….

What’s your favorite variety of Oreo?  How do you like to eat your Oreo’s?  Did you know that women are more likely to pull their Oreo’s apart before eating them?  Apparently there are quite a few studies out there on how people like to eat their Oreo’s.  I think you should eat you Oreo’s stuffed in maple brown sugar cookie dough!

XOXO,
