I need to adjust the recipe some to adjust for the additional (and uncompensated) cocoa, but basically take the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, split the result in half, add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder to one, put strips of both dough together, and bake (I found for an additional minute, although I’m going to try to under-bake a bit).

To put the strips together, I found the easiest method was to create big flat slabs of both dough on a cutting board, make slivers with a knife, create a 3×3 stack of dark and light chocolate on some saran wrap, roll and twist a bit, unwrap, cut off half inch strips, and place on some parchment paper on a cookie sheet. After some practice, this process only takes about 3 minutes.

While super tasty (with still undiscovered potential!) they don’t have a high MDS, so don’t expect to0 much- they’re more of the cookies you can warm up and enjoy with milk. And if you don’t know what MDS is, well, you don’t know cookies.

It might not look special, and you can’t smell it, but it made my month. Excuse me while I try to find someone to pat me on the back.

So how do I subsist sans Oreos? It’s a trick question; I can’t live without them, so I must replicate them.

With the assistance of foodisluv, that’s what I did:

The cookies were obviously cakeier and larger, but while incredibly delicious in their own right, they are not Oreos: their Milk Dunkability Score (MDS) is quite low.
