Ingredients Notes

The magic of these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies lies in the simple ingredients you may already have in your pantry. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need for the best results.

• Butter: Use unsalted butter at room temperature. It gives the cookies a rich, buttery flavor and helps create a soft, chewy texture.
• Sugars: This recipe uses a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. The brown sugar keeps the cookies soft, while granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps the cookies spread.
• Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but you can use dark or milk chocolate chips if you prefer. They add chocolatey goodness to the dough, making these cookies an ultimate chocolate treat.
• Oreos: Any type of Oreo cookie will work! You can use classic Oreos, double-stuffed, or try fun flavors like mint or peanut butter for a unique twist.
• Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Eggs give structure, while vanilla adds flavor depth to the cookie dough. Use real vanilla extract for the best taste.
• All-Purpose Flour: The flour provides structure. Measure carefully to avoid dense cookies – spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.

For equipment, you’ll need a mixing bowl, a hand mixer or stand mixer, a cookie scoop, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

How To Make Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Creating these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies is simple – follow these steps to make the perfect batch.

1. Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
2. 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. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Assemble the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop a portion of cookie dough. Flatten it slightly in your hand and place an Oreo in the center. Then, take another scoop of dough, flatten it, and place it on top of the Oreo. Gently press the dough around the Oreo, sealing the edges so the Oreo is fully encased.
4. Bake: Place the stuffed cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience or store them in an airtight container for up to three days.

These cookies are ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish, perfect for last-minute cravings!

Storage Options

To keep your Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh, follow these storage tips:

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They stay soft and chewy for a few days, although they’re best enjoyed within the first two days for peak gooeyness.
• Refrigeration: If you’d like to keep them longer, place them in the fridge for up to a week. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up before serving.
• Freezing: These cookies freeze beautifully! After baking, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is highly customizable! Here are some fun variations to try:

• Flavored Oreos: Experiment with seasonal or flavored Oreos, like mint, peanut butter, or red velvet for a fun twist. Each flavor changes the cookie experience slightly but remains delicious.
• Different Doughs: Try using a peanut butter or chocolate dough for a different base flavor. The contrast between peanut butter cookie dough and the Oreo filling is especially delicious.
• Mini Oreos: If you want bite-sized treats, use mini Oreos and smaller dough portions. These make adorable mini stuffed cookies, perfect for parties or kids.
• Toppings: After baking, drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate or caramel, or sprinkle them with sea salt for a gourmet touch.
• Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour and gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free treat.

Whether you stick to the classic recipe or put your own spin on it, these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to delight everyone who tries them. Happy baking!
