Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar (for a richer version, substitute more brown sugar)
2 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups oatmeal (old-fashioned)
Mini Oreos
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well mixed.
Gradually add combined flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
Stir in oats by hand until combined.
Chill dough so that it can be more easily handled (about 30 mins should do it). Cover a single mini Oreo in chilled dough and roll into a ball.
Repeat with remaining dough and Oreos. Place each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet and press down lightly.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Allow to cool slightly on cookie sheet before transferring to a clean countertop or wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
