Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside until needed.
• In the bowl of your mixing stand cream together butter, peanut butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well before the next is added. Then mix in the vanilla. Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until completely incorporated.
• Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, roll it into a ball and then flatten with the palm of your hand, set aside and do the same with another tablespoon of cookie dough. Place an Oreo in the middle of one of the flattened balls of cookie dough, place the other on top and fold the dough around the sides of the Oreo, pinching together so no Oreo is showing. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the cookies, placing them about an inch apart.
• Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges just start to brown. Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then move to wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).
