Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 15–20 Oreo cookies, chopped into chunks (plus whole Oreos for stuffing)
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Variations (Optional)
- Swirl or chopped peanut butter cups for peanut butter twist
- Coconut oil and flax eggs for vegan version
- Caramel sauce for salted caramel filling
- Crushed mint Oreos or peppermint extract for mint chocolate
- White chocolate chunks and chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet until a soft dough forms.
- Incorporate Oreo Chunks: Gently fold chopped Oreo cookies and chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution without breaking the cookies into too many crumbs. This mix adds texture and those signature Oreo bits embedded throughout.
- Shape and Stuff the Cookies: Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten one portion in your palm and place a whole Oreo cookie in the center, then cover with more dough and seal around it fully. This chocolate sandwich in the middle will melt into that irresistible stuffed core.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with enough space between them. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Avoid overbaking; remove cookies just as edges firm up to keep a gooey center.
- Ensure the dough completely covers the Oreo to prevent leaks.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and optimal texture.
- Optionally, press a few chocolate chips on top before baking for extra melty bites and a pretty finish.
