3. Gradually add in flour mixture while continuing to mix. 

4. Stir in chocolate morsels

5. PUT COOKIE DOUGH IN FRIDGE FOR 30 MINUTES. This is important because the dough will be easier to work with and won't stick to your hands.

6. Roll dough out with your hands to make a blanket and gently wrap around the Oreo. You want the Oreo completely covered.

In a mixer, beat the butter and sugars on high speed for 3 minutes or until the sugars have combined with the chunks of butter. Add eggs and vanilla and beat for 1 minute more.

Mix in the flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips (You can do any combo of milk/dark/white/semisweet to equal 1 3/4 cup).

Make each dough ball around 1/4 cup sized. Place on the prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart (8 cookies per sheet). Keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to prepare the next sheet.
