I’ve just got to get this out of my system.
Ever since I saw these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies over at Picky Palate, I’ve been wanting to try something similar. I have a little thing for chocolate chip cookies. And by little, I mean big. And by big, I mean huge. And by huge, I mean…
You get the picture.
After making these, I’m really not sure that chocolate chip cookies will ever be the same again. I am not sure I’ll ever be able to make unstuffed cookies again!
The key with these…
You have to let them cool to just the right temperature. Still a bit warm, but cool enough for the caramel to have started to harden. But only just a little bit.
And if you get it at just the right time, you take a bite…and as you pull the cookie away, a long string of caramel forms and you have to catch it!
It’s a moment of ooey, gooey stuffed cookie perfection.
I sure hope you can recreate that moment!
Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour

Instructions
