Ingredients Notes

The secret to these cookies lies in a few simple, high-quality ingredients that come together for amazing flavor and texture.
- Butter: Using softened, unsalted butter is key here. It gives the cookie dough a rich, creamy base and helps achieve that perfect chew. Make sure your butter is soft to the touch but not melted for the best results.
- Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar: A mix of sugars is essential for flavor and texture. The brown sugar adds a slight caramel note and keeps the cookies soft, while the granulated sugar helps them spread and get that slightly crisp edge.
- All-Purpose Flour: This creates the structure for the cookies. Be careful not to overmeasure, as too much flour can make the cookies dense instead of soft.
- Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are my favorite here because they balance the sweetness of the Oreo. You can substitute with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer, but semi-sweet keeps things perfectly balanced.
- Oreos: The stars of the show! Regular or Double Stuf Oreos work best for this recipe. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even try different Oreo flavors, like mint or peanut butter, for a fun twist.
No special equipment is needed for this recipe; just a large mixing bowl, a hand mixer or stand mixer, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
How To Make These Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Making these cookies is simpler than you might think. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps to guide you along the way.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract.
Next, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the cookies tough. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Now comes the fun part: assembling the cookies! Take about two tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place an Oreo in the center, then add another tablespoon of dough on top. Press the edges together to seal the Oreo inside, forming a large dough ball. Repeat this step until all the dough and Oreos are used up.
Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Keep an eye on them; you want the cookies to be slightly underbaked for the perfect soft texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you can’t wait, dive right in while they’re still warm and gooey!
Storage Options
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they store well, too. Here’s how to keep them at their best.
- Room Temperature: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Placing a slice of bread in the container helps keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Freezing: These cookies freeze beautifully, both before and after baking. To freeze unbaked cookies, prepare the stuffed dough balls and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until firm. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.
- Reheating: For a fresh-from-the-oven experience, pop a cookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This warms the cookie and makes the Oreo center extra gooey.
Variations and Substitutions
The beauty of this recipe is that it’s so adaptable. Here are some fun ways to switch it up.
- Try Different Oreos: With so many Oreo flavors available, you can easily change up the filling. Mint, peanut butter, or even birthday cake Oreos add a unique twist to the cookies.
- Add a Nutty Crunch: If you love a bit of crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough. The extra texture pairs wonderfully with the creamy Oreo center.
- Use White Chocolate Chips: Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate to create a sweeter, more delicate cookie. The white chocolate pairs especially well with Golden Oreos for a completely different flavor profile.
- Make It Double-Stuffed: For a bigger cookie experience, use Double Stuf Oreos or even two Oreos stacked together. This variation is a bit more indulgent but incredibly satisfying.
- Add a Pinch of Sea Salt: For an upscale twist, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before baking. The salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness perfectly.
These Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are as fun to make as they are to eat. Try them with your own twist, and get ready to impress family and friends with a cookie experience they’ll never forget!
