Joelle’s Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

My friend Joelle’s contribution to the Cookie Exchange this year comes with a little surprise.  Her cookies may look like just your average chocolate chip cookie on the outside, but bite into one and you will find a mini Oreo cookie stuffed inside!!!  How appropriate that she would make this type of cookie this year…she has her own little surprise inside!!! She is pregnant and we all can’t wait for that little one to get here!!
