Cookies and Cream Cookies

 These are just as satisfying as good ol' cookies and cream ice cream, but without the gluten.  These are rich, soft, and oh so yummy.  They only make about 9 cookies, but you only need to eat one!

Cookies

• 24 Oreos (GF, regular stuffed)
• 1/3 C butter, softened
• 1/4 C sugar
• 2 TBS brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 C flour (I used 1/2 C Bob's Red Mill 1:1 GF flour, and 1/4 C Namaste GF flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp kosher coarse salt

White Chocolate Frosting

• 10 Oreos (GF, regular stuffed)
• 1 1/2 C butter, softened
• 8oz white chocolate
• 2 1/2 C powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 TBS heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp kosher coarse salt

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  
2. In a food processor, crush the Oreos until they are a fine powder.  
3. In a large mixer, cream together the sugar and brown sugar.  Mix on medium/hi speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed.  Add egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined.  Add flour, Oreo powder, baking soda, and salt.  Mix on medium/low speed until blended well.  
4. Use large cookie scoop and scoop cookie dough onto lined cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until cookies have flattened and don't look wet in the center.  Allow cookies to cool, first on the cookie sheet, then on a cooling rack.
5. While the cookies are cooling, crush the remaining package of Oreos into a powder, doesn't need to be a fine powder this time.
6. Break the white chocolate into medium sized pieces, and microwave until melted, cooking 30 seconds at a time, then stirring, until completely melted.  
7. In a mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar, mixing for about 1 minute.  Add in melted chocolate, Oreo powder, vanilla, cream, and salt.  Mix until well blended.  
8. When cookies have cooled, scoop frosting onto cookies, and top with a half Oreo, if desired.
