So, this is pretty straight forward. With the assistance of fellow internet person
Hooded Creature, I attempted to recreate the Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies I made last Spring, but with mint Oreos!
They. . . didn't come out quite as planned. . .

| Okay. . . I admit. . . she pretty much took over the heavy mixing. |
 |
| Dough! |
 |
| Behold! |
 |
| Cookie! |
 |
| The dough, at least, was delicious. |
 |
| They -look- good. . . |
 |
| A little too. . . dry. . . and bready. . . |
 |
| Pictured: defeat. |
So. The first time I made them I followed the Nestle Tollhouse recipe for the cookie dough. This time we used the recipe packaged with the idea. . . and something went horribly wrong. They took about twice as long to bake, and baked out dry and crumbly rather than gooey and chewy. They're still edible. . . but. . . not spectacular. I want to stress this for all you kids at home: for the chocolate chip cookie dough, just use whatever recipe you normally do. Trust me.
On a quasi related note, whoever invented mint Oreos is a genius!
An addendum: I leave baking soda out of any and all cookie recipes I use. That might have been the source of this experiment's failure. I can say, however, that leaving this ingredient out of Nestle Tollhouse cookies results in delicious.
