Crunchy, delicious, and heavenly chocolatey. It’s a cookie stuffed inside a cookie. These Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies sound a bit over the top, and they really are, but in the best kind of way!
This regular chocolate chip cookie recipe is an absolute favorite on Laura’s Bakery, so you can just imagine how this stuffed Oreo chocolate chip cookie takes it to the next level.
In other words: one is never enough… and that’s exactly why they are dangerously good!
Big, thick chocolate chip cookies are a new trend. They pop-up everywhere and I get multiple requests for recipes such as the Chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Nutella.
The good news is that these stuffed Oreo chocolate chip cookies are another one of those easy recipes.
Start by making the chocolate chip cookie dough. Add the butter, brown sugar and the granulated sugar together in a large bowl and mix it until creamy. Add the egg and the vanilla and mix it until you have a smooth consistency.
At this point you add the flour, salt and the baking soda. As soon as the flour is incorporated, stop mixing. This is important so the cookies don’t get tough. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 3 hours but preferably overnight.
Now comes the fun part; divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Each piece is then divided into two and slightly flattened. Keep in mind that an Oreo cookie needs to be added in the center so make sure to have the right size.
Place on Oreo cookie in the center of your first dough piece and cover it with the second part. Seal the edges properly and roll the cookie into a semi ball. It won’t be perfectly round since there is an Oreo inside.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet with enough space between them. They will spread more than your average cookie due to the filling. Press a few extra chocolate chips and Oreo crumbles into the top of each cookie.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 340˚F/170˚C (conventional oven) for about 14 to 16 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep in mind that the cookies will still be slightly soft when they come out of the oven.
Let them cool on a baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or cooling rack to cool down completely.
You can store these insanely good cookies for about 1-2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep in mind that they will get a little bit softer after some time, but they will still be delicious!
Yes you can! You can freeze the cookie dough or freeze the baked cookies. If freezing the cookie dough, I suggest that you shape them and roll them into balls before freezing. Any additional toppings are best added just before baking.
I love to bake cookies and adding Oreos to my favorite recipes is a fun way to add extra crunch and flavor. I’ve already made quite a few recipes featuring Oreos. You can find some of them below!
I wouldn’t recommend it. Chilling the dough helps the cookies keep their shape and gives you that thick, bakery-style texture. It also improves the flavor. If you’re short on time, chill for at least 1 hour, but overnight is best. Check out why you should always chill your dough.
This usually happens if the dough isn’t chilled long enough or if the butter was too warm. Make sure your dough is firm before baking and don’t skip the resting time.
Feel free to use whatever kind of chocolate chips you prefer most. You can use all dark, all milk, or all white chocolate chips. Mixing them just adds a bit more depth of flavor and decadence.
Bake-stable chocolate chips are convenient because they hold their shape in the oven. They soften with the heat, but once cooled, they turn back into small, firm pieces without losing their shape.
An alternative is to chop up a chocolate bar and mix it into the dough. These aren’t bake-stable, so they won’t hold their shape as well, but they work just fine. After baking, they take a bit longer to firm up again, and whether they become crisp depends on the type of chocolate you use.
No, you can also chop the Oreos and mix them into the dough. Using a whole Oreo in the center just gives that fun surprise effect.
