Ingredients Notes

To make the best Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll need a few basic ingredients along with some Oreo cookies. Here’s a breakdown:

Butter: Use softened, unsalted butter for the base of your cookie dough. This ensures a rich, chewy cookie and allows the flavors of the dough to shine.
Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar: A mix of sugars provides the perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness. The brown sugar adds a bit of moisture and a hint of caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with the Oreos.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla adds depth to the cookie dough, giving it that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.
All-Purpose Flour: Regular flour is perfect for this recipe, giving the dough structure and creating a chewy texture. Be sure to measure carefully to avoid dense cookies.
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips work well here, but you can use milk or dark chocolate chips based on your preference. The chocolate melts around the Oreo, creating delicious gooey pockets.
Oreos: The star of the show! Classic Oreos work perfectly, but feel free to experiment with double-stuffed or flavored Oreos to change things up.

This recipe is simple, but you’ll need a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and a mixing bowl or stand mixer.

How to Make Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Making these Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies is easier than you might think! Follow these steps for the perfect result.

Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Assemble the Cookies: Take about 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place an Oreo in the center, then cover the top with another 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough. Press the edges together to seal the Oreo inside, forming a dough ball around it. Repeat with the remaining dough and Oreos.
Chill the Dough Balls: Place the dough balls on a plate or tray, cover them, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve: These cookies are best enjoyed warm, with the Oreo center slightly soft and the chocolate chips melty. Serve them as they are or with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat!

In just a few steps, you’ll have a batch of gooey, Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies that are sure to impress.

Storage Options

Here’s how to keep your Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh (if you have any leftovers!):

Room Temperature: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, especially if kept sealed.
Refrigerator: For longer storage, place the cookies in the fridge for up to a week. Let them come to room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave before enjoying.
Freezer: These cookies freeze well! Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds for that fresh-baked taste.

Variations and Substitutions

These Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to customize! Here are some ideas to try:

Double-Stuffed or Flavored Oreos: Use double-stuffed Oreos for an extra indulgent treat, or switch it up with flavored Oreos like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake for a fun twist.
White Chocolate Chips: Swap some or all of the chocolate chips with white chocolate for a unique flavor profile. White chocolate complements the Oreos beautifully!
Brown Butter: For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular butter in the cookie dough. The nutty, caramel notes from browned butter add a new layer of flavor that’s amazing with the Oreos.
Mini Chocolate Chips: If you want a more even distribution of chocolate, try using mini chocolate chips. They’ll create a softer, gooier dough that’s perfect for these oversized cookies.
Peanut Butter or Cookie Butter: For a nutty twist, add a tablespoon of peanut butter or cookie butter to the dough. This adds a subtle flavor that pairs wonderfully with the chocolate and Oreo.

These variations let you get creative with the recipe while keeping the essence of this delicious Oreo-stuffed cookie intact!
