Ingredient Notes

*See the bottom of the post for the recipe card with measurements and full instructions. 

• All-purpose flour - make sure to scoop out the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon and then level it with a knife.
• Baking soda - since this is your evening agent, make sure it's fresh baking soda.
• Salt
• Salted butter - we find this recipe is great with salted or unsalted butter, so use what you have on hand.
• White granulated sugar
• Light brown sugar - make sure to pack it tightly in your measuring cup. 
• Pure vanilla extract
• Large eggs - room temperature eggs are best. 
• Chocolate chips - regular size or mini work well in the recipe. You could also use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Gatherher 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, cream the butter and sugars. 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. Once you add the eggs and vanilla, gradually add in the 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, let them cool completely by transferring to a cooling rack.

How to stuff oreo cookies inside the cookie dough

For the Oreo stuffing part, you can try a couple of techniques.

1. 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.
2. Other recipes say to place a scoop of cookie dough on top and one on the bottom of the Oreo, then shape it 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 cooked and 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. 

You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months, thaw it, and then bake it.

Pro Tip: You can also warm them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to give them a fresh-baked flavor.

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:

1. It turns your regular oven into a professional baking superstar. Seriously, it's incredible how well recipes cook or bake with this little mat!
2. It's non-stick, so there is no need to use parchment paper, which helps the environment.
3. The mat works for both sweet and savory recipes! We love it!

Expert Tips

• 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 always use 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.
• You can use store-bought cookie dough if you'd like.
