This cookie sounded so fantastic in my head. I used to love the Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme bars when I was younger (not that I don’t still, but I try to resist), and the idea of them being inside of a cookie made me all giddy. But I also wanted the cookie to be super chewy and moist, almost like a brownie.

After mixing everything up, I placed rounded tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, popped them into the oven, and out came one full sheet-pan-sized cookie. They completely flattened out and ran into one another. I have to admit, even though they didn’t look very pretty, they sure did taste fantastic!

But I still wanted to attempt to fix the problem with the remaining dough, so I busted out my muffin-top pan thinking that would be the key to preventing the cookies from spreading. Granted that also meant making saucer-sized cookies, but giant cookies are never a bad thing in my mind.

The end result? Well, the chocolate bar pieces weren’t as visible from the outside as in the flattened out cookies, but the great taste and chewiness were still there, with a little bit of crisp on the outside. I think it was a success!

However, as delicious as these were, I did end up perfecting them years later and have changed the recipe (and photos) to match! If you want an even more decedent version, try my chocolate cake ball stuffed Oreo pudding cookies.

Ingredients
