Dish 15 - Choc Chip Cookie Surprise

Choc Chip Cookie Surprise

Makes: Heaps (depending on the size of the cookie)

Ingredients:

500g unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups castor sugar
400g can condensed milk
5 cups self-raising flour, sifted
250g pk white chocolate bits
2 x 250g pkt dark chocolate bits
pkt mini/bite size Oreo Cookies

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180oC. Grease and line 4 baking trays.
2. Using an electric mixer and very large bowl, beat butter, sugar and condensed milk until light and creamy in texture.
3. Add sifted flour and chocolate bits and mix until well combined.
4. Using 1 tablespoon mixture (or smaller spoon if you prefer), roll into balls. Place onto trays.
5. Add an Oreo cookie to the top of each ball. Place another ball of dough on top of first ball and using hands, seal in Oreo cookie. Leave room to spread on the tray.
6. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until light golden. Allow to stand on the trays for 5 minutes until transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Note: to make the cookie without Oreo, follow steps 1-4, then flatten slightly with a fork. Bake according to step 6.
