Let me preface this post by saying this is a cookie for everyone. Not only because it's ridiculously good, laden with chocolate, and easy to make...but because it has Oreo's and Mounds in it...how could anyone in their right mind turn down a combination like that? Searching for a good recipe for anything usually leads me to google search "best (insert item here) recipe" and seeing what results peak my interest.
These gems were hiding amongst the crowd and boy am I glad I took the time to poke around.

| Beat 3/4 c unsalted butter and 1/3 c butter-flavored shortening until creamy. Gradually add 1 c granulated sugar and 3/4 c dark brown sugar and mix until it's light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla. After all those ingredients are well blended slowly add 2 c flour, 2/3 c unsweetened cocoa, 1 tsp baking soda and a pinch of salt until combined. |

| Stir in your coarsely chopped Oreo's and Mounds. The Mounds cut much easier if they're chilled for a bit first, which I recommend doing. Wrap the dough in wax paper and refrigerate for at least a half hour. After they've firmed up make approximately 1/4 c sized balls and place them about 2" apart. |

| Bake at 350° on parchment paper for 10-12 minutes-the cookies will barely be set at this point. Let them cool before transferring to a wire rack |
The recipe calls for an additional cup of chocolate chips- I chose to leave these out since I wasn't looking to get punched in the face with chocolate...moreso a sweet caress. Mission accomplished. I think chopped walnuts (or any other nut) would be a nice addition to this sweet treat. This recipe yields about 30 cookies.
