Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies

Cookie in a cookie!  I thought these were cute, so I just had to try them.  They turned out really good.  Someone on the blog I got them from, Lovin' From the Oven, said they tasted like cookies and cream.  I am not sure I got that.  But I only tried two and each cookie was a lot different because I found that the amount of Oreo in each dough blob varied a lot.  I made them for our department BBQ tonight.  There were a lot of people there so they were gone in like 60 seconds (along with the rest of the desserts).


I did adjust for altitude.  I have secretly been making cookies and not posting them to blog.  I am trying to find the perfect high altitude chocolate chip cookie recipe.  And I have been really not satisfied at all.  I have tried a few different recipes that many people claim are "the best chocolate chip cookie ever".  They do not work at high altitude.  So, I have decided I will never make another cookie recipe without adjusting for high altitude.  Every time I figure out the best adjustment, the cookies are so amazing. 

For these cookies, I added about 1-2 tbsp of water, 1-2 tbsp of flour and used less sugar (maybe 1 tbsp less).   This is all not indicated in the recipe below.  I did some research and that is what a lot of people said they were doing.  It isn't ever an exact adjustment.  And it seemed to work for these.  Unlike most of the cookies I make, these did not spread, the edges didn't burn and they were nice and soft.
