What’s in This Oreos Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe?

• Butter – The unsalted variety provides a rich, creamy base without overpowering the cookies with additional saltiness. It should be softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugars.
• Sugar – A combination of granulated and brown sugar gives the cookies their classic sweet flavor, with the brown sugar adding a hint of molasses and moisture for extra chewiness.
• Egg – Acts as the binding agent, holding all the ingredients together. A room-temperature egg mixes more uniformly into the batter, contributing to a smoother cookie texture.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds a subtle but essential flavor depth to the cookies, complementing the chocolate and the Oreo pieces beautifully.
• Flour – The structure of the cookies comes from properly measured flour, scooped and leveled to ensure the dough has just the right consistency.
• Baking Soda – This leavening agent is crucial for creating the perfect rise and spread, making the cookies chewy inside with slightly crispy edges.
• Salt – A pinch to balance the sweetness of the sugars and chocolate, highlighting the flavors of all the other ingredients.
• Oreos Are double–stuffed for extra creaminess and crushed to provide bites of crunchy, chocolaty goodness throughout each perfect cookie.
• Chocolate – Mini chocolate chips are mixed in to ensure every bite is loaded with chocolate, adding texture and even more chocolate flavor to the cookies.

Substitutions and Variations

• Swap out the Oreos for another type of cookie or candy. Some ideas include Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, or Thin Mints. Play around with the type of cookies you or candy.
• Add nuts to the batter, such as chopped pecans or walnuts, for extra crunch.
• Use white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips instead of mini chocolate chips. This will change the flavor quite a bit.
• Experiment with different extracts in the batter, such as almond or coconut extract, for a different flavor profile.
• Make the cookies gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Cookies Stuffed With Oreos (step-by-step directions)

1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350℉. 
2. Crush 8 Oreos into pieces, setting aside 1/4 cup for garnish and the rest for the batter. (Photo 1)
3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl with a hand mixer. 
4. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined. (Photos 2,3 & 4)
5. Stir in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. (Photos 5 & 6)
6. Fold in mini chocolate chips and Oreo crumbs with a wooden spoon until well distributed; the batter will be thick. (Photos 7 & 8)

1. Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, place cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Adjust the scoop size and cooking time if preferred.
2. Bake for 9 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
3. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top immediately after baking.
4. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set.

Recipe Tips

• To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly, measure your ingredients accurately and don’t overmix the batter.
• If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to portion out the dough. Just make sure each cookie is the same size for even baking.
• For extra soft and chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• If the cookie dough becomes too soft, chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking; this helps the cookies maintain their shape and texture.
• To achieve uniformly sized cookies, use a spring-loaded cookie scoop. This ensures equal baking time and presentation.
• To add saltiness, sprinkle a tiny amount of coarse sea salt on top of the cookies before baking. This enhances the sweet and chocolatey flavors.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to move without breaking.
• Consider using dark chocolate chips or chunks instead of milk chocolate if you want a more intense chocolate flavor.

Storing Tips 

To store cookies, allow them to cool completely and place them in an airtight container or storage bag. If the cookies are still warm, they will release moisture and become soft or soggy, so it’s important to let them cool first.

The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. I store them at room temperature on the counter, but you could also store them in the fridge if you prefer.

How to Freeze

Once the cookies are completely cool, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet or plate. Please do not touch them, as this can cause them to stick together.

Freeze in an airtight container for 3-4 months. If stacking, you can place parchment paper between the layers to prevent the cookies from sticking. Then, when ready to eat, place them on the counter for an hour or two.

How to Reheat

Want a fresh-out-of-the-oven cookie? Toss the cookie in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to warm it up.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these indulgent Chocolate Chip Cookies Stuffed with Oreos as a standalone treat, or pair them with a DIY hot chocolate spoon made into a drink or a tall glass of milk. They also complement a cup of strong coffee or espresso, balancing the richness of the cookies with the coffee’s bitterness. 

For a more decadent dessert, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside other similar flavored desserts such as chocolate coffee mocha cupcakes.
