Cheesy Double Chocolate Mint Oreo Cookies

I'm linking up with My Life With Rats and More for Wobble Over Wednesday.

I just love adding cream cheese to baking, yum! I made these cookies with Sloan in mind because she loves mint and Oreo's. I thought the chocolate cream cheese cookies were a good base for the mint chips and Oreo's. These cookies are nice and chewy in the middle but crispy on the outside, Yumo! I brought them along for our canoeing trip and everyone gobbled them down.
