Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this recipe is that it uses simple, pantry-friendly ingredients to create a decadent, bakery-style treat.

For the butter, make sure it's softened to room temperature. This ensures the cookie dough will be smooth and creamy, making it easier to wrap around the Oreo without breaking.

Brown sugar and granulated sugar both play important roles in this recipe. The brown sugar adds chewiness and a deeper flavor, while the granulated sugar helps create that classic cookie texture with a slight crisp on the edges.

The flour gives these cookies their structure, while a bit of baking soda helps them rise just the right amount. Make sure to measure the flour carefully to avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough cookies.

For the star ingredient, Oreos, feel free to use classic Oreos or experiment with flavored ones like Double Stuf or even Golden Oreos for a unique twist.

You'll need plenty of chocolate chips for that gooey, melty goodness in every bite. Semi-sweet chocolate chips work great here, but you could also try milk or dark chocolate chips if you prefer.

No special equipment is needed, just a good baking sheet and a mixing bowl. A cookie scoop will also help portion the dough evenly, but it’s not essential.

How To Make Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Creating these Oreo stuffed cookies is straightforward and totally worth the effort. Here’s how to make them step by step.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer, but you can also do it by hand if needed.

Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies tough.

Now, gently fold in the chocolate chips. To assemble, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place an Oreo in the center, then take another scoop of dough and flatten it over the Oreo, sealing the edges so the Oreo is completely covered.

Place the dough-covered Oreos on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for the ultimate gooey treat!

Storage Options

These Oreo stuffed cookies store well, so you can make them ahead or save any leftovers for later.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days, though they’re usually gone much faster!

For longer storage, you can freeze the cookie dough before baking. Simply prepare the cookies as directed, then place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen cookie dough balls to a zip-top bag, and bake directly from frozen when ready, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.

You can also freeze the baked cookies. Just allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is highly customizable, so feel free to get creative and make it your own!

Try different flavors of Oreos for a twist on the classic. Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or even seasonal flavors like Pumpkin Spice can add a fun element to these cookies.

Add some crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts for a bit of extra crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the chocolate and Oreo filling beautifully.

If you’re a chocolate lover, consider adding chunks of chocolate along with the chocolate chips. This will make the cookies even more indulgent with pockets of melty chocolate in every bite.

Experiment with the cookie dough by adding cocoa powder to create a double-chocolate version. You’ll get a rich, dark chocolate cookie dough that pairs beautifully with the Oreo center.

Lastly, for a festive touch, mix in some colorful sprinkles or mini candies into the dough to match a holiday or celebration.

No matter how you choose to enjoy these Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies, they’re bound to be a hit. Grab a glass of milk, and get ready to indulge in one of the most comforting and delicious treats you’ll ever make!
