How to make step by step
To start, gather your ingredients and prep your baking pan, if necessary, with parchment paper. Now, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 1 - Make Cookie Dough
Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, in a separate bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until nice and creamy - about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add in flour mixture and mix until combined.
Next, stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Step 2 - Refrigerate Dough
Place your chocolate chip cookie dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3 - Place Cookie Dough Around Oreo
Take a large scoopful of cookie dough and form it around the Oreo cookie with your hands. Place more dough on top of the Oreo Cookie than below. Completely enclose Oreo in the cookie dough.
Step - 4 - Bake
Place on a cookie sheet (we prefer ours lined with a Silpat Baking Mat). Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Oven Temperatures may vary, so watch your cookies as they may need additional cooking time.
Because the cookies are so large, we place fewer cookies on the baking sheet as they tend to spread.
Baking Tip: slightly under-baking cookies will give them a chewier consistency. Baking longer makes them crispier.
Step 5 - Cool
Cool your stuffed chocolate chip cookies on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Then, place them on baking racks to cool completely.
How to stuff oreo cookies inside the cookie dough
For the Oreo stuffing part, you can try a couple of techniques.
- We like taking a scoop of cookie dough, placing it on top of the cookie, and a smaller one underneath. Then, forming the dough around the Oreo cookies with our hands.
- Other recipes say to place a scoop of cookie dough on top and one on the bottom of the Oreo, then shape with your hands. We find this creates odd-shaped cookies once you bake them. There was so much dough; it just spread way too much.
How to store
Once cooled completely, store your oreo stuffed cookies in an airtight container on the counter for about one week.
Pro Tip: If you want to prevent cookies from hardening, store them in a sealed cookie jar with a slice of apple.
How to freeze
These Oreo Stuffed Cookies freeze well.
For best results, place cooled cookies on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer to freeze individually. Once frozen, put them in an airtight container and label them with contents and date.
Using our tips on freezing food to prevent freezer burn will keep eight weeks in the freezer. Take them out of the freezer to let them defrost before you eat them.
Pro Tip: You can also warm them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to give them a fresh-baked flavor.
Enjoy!
The secret to baking perfect cookies
Wanna know the secret to cookies with perfectly crisp outer edges and soft, chewy middles? It's very simple, and we NEVER bake cookies without it. It's the Silpat Baking Mat.
Here are the reasons why:
- It turns your regular oven into a professional baking superstar. Seriously, it's incredible how well recipes cook or bake with this little mat!
- It's non-stick, so there is no need to use parchment paper, which helps the environment.
- The mat works for both sweet and savory recipes! We love it!
Tips & tricks
- Use real butter, not margarine, in your Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies for best results.
- Since they tend to make placing the cookie dough around the cookies easier, readers mentioned using mini chocolate chips. We've always used regular size.
- Make sure you chill your dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before baking.
- Do NOT grease your baking pan.
- These large Oreo Cookie cookies tend to expand a lot, so make sure you give them plenty of room on your cookie sheet!
- Definitely wrap the entire Oreo even if you think it will meltdown to cover them.
- For reference, we use Double Stuffed Oreos in this recipe. Why not experiment with other flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, or whatever is available seasonally? You’ll only regret that you didn’t think of this sooner!!
- You can use store-bought cookie dough if you'd like.

A favorite family recipe for sure! The good news is they freeze well for later too!
Avery says
Absolutely delicious!! I admittedly am not one to leave reviews on recipes but these cookies were way too good not to leave a review. I used mini chocolate chips instead of regular, and also was initially confused about the "1 cup 2 sticks butter" because that seemed like 2 cups, but I figured it was just "1 cup (2 sticks) butter" so I stuck with that. These were super easy to make, me and boyfriend made these in no time at all and we're obsessed! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Erin Henry says
So glad you found the recipe, Avery! And thanks for the review! These gems are definitely one of our favorites, so glad you and your boyfriend enjoyed them!
Mitts says
Hi Erin!! This recipe looks so tempting I'm gonna try it soon. But i have a question about the eggs, can i use flax eggs instead of eggs or will it be okay to totally skip the eggs? My family doesn't like cookies with eggs. Will update after trying the recipe soon 🙂
Erin Henry says
Hi Mitts, eggs act as a binder in baking, so they are an important ingredient. We have not tried this recipe with flax eggs, but we'd love to know how it goes.

Do you think these will freeze well?
Erin Henry says
Most cookies freeze well as long as they are stored properly. We think these would be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.
sabreelyn says
How can I make them less sticky? I make them once and when I balled the dough around the oreo it was a MESS.
Erin Henry says
Good question. I would try putting the batter in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden slightly.
Damien Farquad says
I made these and almost burned down my house. But I have no regrets these are so good!

Hi Monica, depending on how big you make them, this recipe produces about 24 stuffed cookies.

I have a silpat and you are so right about them! A true must have for bakers! I actually have two now and want a third! They last forever but I like having more than one for when I bake big batches of holiday cookies.
Erin says
Totally smart, Erin! I want another one. I was thinking one Silpat for sweets and one for savories, but I like your idea about having more than more to bake all the holiday cookies...so three is a good number 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

I am so not a baker. Baking completely stresses me out. But I would be willing to be stressed out with this recipe. What could be better than chocolate chip cookies and oreos mixed together. Yummy. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
