Oreo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup peanut better
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 package of regular oreo cookies (not double stuffed)

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until smooth.  Add eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed in.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.  Slowly stir in flour mixture, 1/3 at a time until completely incorporated.  Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375°F.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place 1 tablespoon of cookie dough on top of an Oreo cookie and a second tablespoon underneath.  You want just enough dough to cover the Oreo so that your chocolate to peanut butter cookie ratio is equal.  Gently press the dough down around the Oreo, sealing the cookie dough edges together so that no Oreo shows through.  Transfer the cookie to a prepared baking sheet and repeat leaving about 1/2 inches between each cookie.

Bake for 8-11 minutes or until cookies have just started to brown around the edges.  Do not over bake!!!  Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.  Store in airtight container.....ENJOY!!
