How do you make Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Quick Overview

Making these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious.Is it easier than you think? We’re essentially making a classic chocolate chip cookie dough, crushing up some Oreos, and folding it all together. What is the best way to bake in the oven? What’s the hardest part about waiting for them to cool down enough to eat? What is a little chill?

Ingredients

For the Main Batter: How do I get

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened – Make sure it’s *actually* softened, not melted!
34 cup granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps with browning.
34 cup packed brown sugar – For that chewy texture and molasses flavor. I always use dark brown sugar, I just love the deeper flavor.
2 large eggs – Binds everything together and adds richness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Pure vanilla is best, but imitation works in a pinch.
2 14 cups all-purpose flour – Spoon and level for accurate measurement.
1 teaspoon baking soda – Helps the cookies rise and gives them a light texture.
1 teaspoon salt – Balances sweetness and enhances the other flavors.
I like milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate. I personally like a mix of both.

For the Oreo Component:

I use a food processor to crush Oreo cookies. I just put them in the freezer. Zip-top bags and crush them with a rolling pin. Is it better to crush the pieces finely than crush them?

What is the step by

Step 1: Preheat & Prep Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze! Is parchment paper your best friend?

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. What makes a good cookie? Why don’t skip whisking?

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light. Set aside. What is the best way to do this with an electric mixer? Beat the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure the butter is actually softened, or it won’t cream properly.

Step 4: Combine

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix! Overmixing develops gluten in the flour, which can result in tough cookies. I always stop mixing just before everything is fully combined and then finish it by hand.

Step 5: Add Oreos and Chocolate Chips

Is it worth it to add crushed Oreos and chocolate chips to the dough? Gently fold, don’t stir! This keeps the cookies tender.

Step 6: Chill the Dough

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. How do I prevent cookies from spreading out during baking? I know it’s tempting to skip this step, but trust me, it’s worth it!

Step 7: Bake

Do not overdo the dough, leaving about 2 inches between the top and bottom of the baking sheet. If you have a large cookie sheet, place it on the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. I always set a timer for 9 minutes and then check them every minute after that.

Step 8: Cool

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to the wire rack. To cool completely. Is it necessary for a hammer to break apart?

Step 9: Serve & Enjoy

Serve these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies warm or at room temperature. They’re delicious on their own or with a glass of milk! Honestly, they never last long in my house!

What to Serve It With

These Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies are amazing all on their own, but if you’re looking to take things to the next level, here are a few serving suggestions:

For Breakfast: Pair them with a strong cup of coffee or a creamy latte for a decadent morning treat. I sometimes crumble them over yogurt for a fun breakfast parfait.

For Brunch: Serve them alongside a fruit platter and a mimosa bar for a sweet and sophisticated brunch spread. They look so pretty arranged on a tiered serving tray!

As Dessert: These cookies are the perfect after-dinner treat. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. I also love to pair them with a glass of port wine.

For Cozy Snacks: Enjoy them warm with a glass of milk or hot chocolate on a chilly evening. They’re also perfect for movie nights or game nights with the family. My kids love dipping them in milk!

My family has a tradition of making these cookies every Christmas Eve. We leave them out for Santa, and they always disappear! It’s a fun and delicious tradition that we all look forward to.

Top Tips for Perfecting Your Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Over the years, I’ve learned a few tricks for making these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies absolutely perfect:

Butter: Using truly softened butter is crucial for achieving the right texture. If the butter is too cold, it won’t cream properly. If it’s too melted, the cookies will spread too thin.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking. It also allows the flavors to meld together.
Oreo Size: Don’t crush the Oreos too finely. You want some nice chunks for texture. I like to leave some larger pieces and some smaller crumbs.
Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they’re baking. They’re done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Cooling: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents them from breaking apart.
Add a pinch of espresso powder: I’ve found that a little bit of espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor in both the Oreos and the chocolate chips. It’s a secret ingredient that makes a big difference!

One time, I forgot to chill the dough and the cookies spread out super thin and crispy. They were still delicious, but definitely not the chewy cookies I was going for! That’s when I learned the importance of chilling.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Here’s how to keep your Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh and delicious:

Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy.

Refrigerator Storage: For longer storage, you can store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving.

Freezer Instructions: To freeze the cookies, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature before serving. You can also freeze the dough balls before baking, and then bake them straight from frozen. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

I usually freeze half of the batch so I always have some on hand for unexpected guests or when I just need a little something sweet. It’s a lifesaver!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the regular flour. I recommend using a blend that contains xanthan gum. You may also need to add a little extra moisture, as gluten-free flours tend to be drier. Start with a tablespoon of milk or water and add more as needed until the dough comes together.

Do I need to peel the zucchini?

This recipe doesn’t use zucchini.

Can I make this as muffins instead?

These are cookies, but you can modify this and scoop batter into muffin tin and bake it for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close watch.

How can I adjust the sweetness level?

You can reduce the amount of sugar slightly, but keep in mind that sugar helps with browning and texture. You can also use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, but this will change the flavor and texture of the cookies.

What can I use instead of the glaze?

There is no glaze on this recipe.
