Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies

I procrastinate from my homework the best when I'm baking. Seriously. Instead of writing a 1000 word paper, I browse through my bookmarks on my computer and decide what I want to bake. After figuring out my next culinary mission, I get right to it and start mixing my little heart away. Once everything is set and cooled, I figure, "Well... I already have all my materials out, why not bake something else?" This is where the process starts all over again; It's like a never-ending circle of baking that will, in turn, doom my academic career.

Were these cookies worth it? Totally. The concept of a cookie in a cookie is just genius. Kind of like cookie dough in cookie dough. Wait, what? Is that even possible? Anyways, I made these cookies into little itty-bitty baby ones because I wanted bite sized treats. That resulted in me eating a million cookies instead of one. Oops. They're full of flavor (taste just like cookies n' cream ice cream, really) and the oreo texture in it is wonderful! They're also chewy, not crumbly. I subbed baking powder for baking soda because I didn't have any on hand, which is why my cookies are a bit puffy than normal. That actually works even better for mini cookies!
