Ingredients Notes

This recipe comes together with a mix of classic chocolate chip cookie ingredients and, of course, Oreos. Here’s a breakdown of what makes each ingredient special in this recipe.

Butter – Make sure to use softened, unsalted butter for the best texture. The creaminess of the butter keeps these cookies soft and chewy, while also adding richness.

Brown Sugar and White Sugar – Combining both sugars gives a balanced sweetness. Brown sugar also adds a subtle caramel flavor that pairs beautifully with the chocolate and Oreo center.

Vanilla Extract – A must for any good cookie! The vanilla enhances the flavor of the dough and complements the chocolate and Oreo flavors.

Chocolate Chips – Go for semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a slightly bitter contrast to the sweet Oreo filling. You can also use chocolate chunks for an extra melty texture.

Oreo Cookies – The star of the show! Classic Oreos work perfectly, but feel free to experiment with Double Stuf, Golden Oreos, or even flavored varieties to customize your cookies.

No special equipment is needed—just a mixing bowl, spatula, and baking sheet.

How To Make Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Making Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies is simpler than you might think. Let’s walk through the steps to get that perfect cookie.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will help with easy cleanup and ensure your cookies bake evenly.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. This step is essential to give your cookies a soft texture. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until everything is well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—overworked dough can lead to tougher cookies. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.

Now, it’s time to assemble! Take a scoop of dough (about 1-2 tablespoons) and flatten it slightly. Place an Oreo in the center, then cover it with another small scoop of dough. Carefully mold the dough around the Oreo, making sure it’s fully encased. Place each stuffed cookie on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space for spreading.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

The whole process takes about 25 minutes from start to finish, making these cookies a quick treat you can whip up anytime.

Storage Options

These cookies store beautifully, making them a great option for make-ahead treats.

If you have leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay soft and fresh for up to 3-4 days. For an even fresher taste, add a slice of bread to the container—the moisture from the bread helps keep the cookies from drying out.

To freeze, arrange the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes.

Reheating is easy too! Just warm the cookies in the microwave for about 10 seconds to revive that fresh-baked softness.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Here are a few fun ideas to make it your own.

For a festive twist, try flavored Oreos like peppermint or red velvet. They add a seasonal touch that’s perfect for holiday baking.

Switch up the chocolate chips with other types of chips, like white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch. Each will bring a different flavor profile to the cookie.

If you’re a fan of peanut butter, use peanut butter Oreos and even add a few tablespoons of peanut butter to the cookie dough for a nutty variation.

To make a slightly healthier version, try using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. It will add a bit of a nuttier flavor and a bit of extra fiber.

And for a real treat, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on top of the cookies right before baking. The salt complements the sweetness beautifully, giving each bite a gourmet touch.

With this recipe, there’s no wrong way to enjoy these cookies—feel free to experiment and find your perfect version!
