Ingredients Notes
You don’t need anything fancy for these cookies – just some pantry staples and, of course, Oreos! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Butter: Using melted butter makes the cookie dough rich and chewy. Be sure to let it cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the sugar too much.
- Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar: A mix of sugars helps create that perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness. The brown sugar adds depth and moisture.
- Eggs: Eggs bind the dough together and give the cookies structure. Use large eggs at room temperature for the best results.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla enhances the flavor and pairs perfectly with both chocolate chips and Oreos.
- Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are ideal, but you can use milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference. You could even add a mix of both for an extra chocolatey experience.
- Oreos: The star of the show! Classic Oreos work perfectly, but you can try different flavors like Double Stuf, Golden, or Mint for a fun twist.
You’ll need a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to portion out the dough and cover each Oreo. A parchment-lined baking sheet is also helpful to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
How to Make Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are surprisingly easy to make. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a batch ready in no time.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix together ¾ cup of melted butter (cooled slightly), ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. This gives you that chocolatey goodness in every bite.
- Assemble the Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly. Place an Oreo in the center, then top it with another 2 tablespoons of dough, sealing the edges to completely cover the Oreo. Roll the dough gently in your hands to form a ball, making sure the Oreo is hidden inside. Repeat with the remaining dough and Oreos.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart as they will spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, but they’re absolutely delicious when still slightly warm and gooey!
Storage Options
These Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies store well, so you can enjoy them over several days. Here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container; the cookies will absorb moisture from the bread, staying chewy for longer.
- Freezer: If you want to make them ahead, you can freeze the stuffed dough balls before baking. Place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, add an extra 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
Frozen, baked cookies can be thawed at room temperature or microwaved for a few seconds for a warm, fresh-baked taste.
Variations and Substitutions
There are plenty of ways to make these cookies your own. Here are some fun twists to try:
- Double Chocolate: Make chocolate dough by adding ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. The result? Double chocolate Oreo-stuffed cookies with an intense, rich flavor.
- Different Oreo Flavors: Use flavored Oreos like Peanut Butter, Mint, or Birthday Cake for a unique spin. Each flavor gives a new, unexpected surprise inside the cookie.
- Stuff with Other Cookies or Candies: Try swapping the Oreo for another cookie or treat like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, a marshmallow, or even a brownie bite for a different surprise in the center.
- Add Mix-Ins: For extra crunch, add ½ cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the dough. They add a delightful texture and balance the sweetness.
- Salted Caramel Drizzle: Once baked and cooled, drizzle the cookies with a little salted caramel sauce for an added layer of decadence. It’s the perfect way to elevate these cookies even further.
