I have had a couple of dinner parties this summer. And one common theme in the foods that I have offered has been these amazing chocolate cookies.
The first time, I made them to look like this:
(Those are ice cream sandwiches, one with vanilla and the other with homemade strawberry sorbet. I thought these were really good, even better after they'd been in the freezer for a day.)
And the second time, I did just what Deb told me to do and made these:
Pretty much all critics agree that these are delicious chocolate cookies. They're very sweet, and they spread a lot in the baking process, but in all they are the star of this show. As for the oreo filling, I and most people agree that it tastes pretty much like the original "white stuff" though at least 
one taste tester agreed with Deb's assessment that, when combined with the cookie, the overall package was too sweet. Deb says, lower the sugar if you're using the cookie to make oreos. I'm not sure that's the route I'd take, but I am not afraid of a sugary cookie. Moral of the story, less sugar or no, this is a great versatile chocolate wafer cookie that is easy to make and sure to please.

Inspired by you via CH, I made these to bring to a dinner party. I cut down the sugar as Deb suggested and had no problems with it. However, I discovered that I don't actually like Oreos even when they are homemade. (I had convinced myself that I would like them if they were homemade, despite not generally liking the store-bought ones.) No one else seemed to mind, but I don't think I'll be making them again.
Using the cookies for ice cream sandwiches, though, sounds like a fabulous idea.
THESE COOKIES ARE SO GOOD PLEASE MAKE THEM FOR ME PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ. THANK YOU.
