Indulge in this Oreo inside cookie recipe, a delightful fusion of chocolate chip cookies and Oreos. Perfect for parties, dessert tables, or any sweet craving!

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 Oreo cookies (regular or Double Stuf)

Directions

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently to avoid overmixing.
Step 2: Assemble the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Place an Oreo cookie in the center and wrap the dough around it, ensuring the Oreo is fully encased.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between them.
Step 3: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Dough Texture: The dough should be firm enough to wrap around the Oreo. If it’s too sticky, chill for 15 minutes.
Oreos: Double Stuf adds extra creaminess but works just as well with regular Oreos.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Inside Cookie:

Chill the Dough: Chilling prevents cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Choose the Right Oreos: Experiment with flavored Oreos like Birthday Cake or Mint for variety.
Seal the Edges: Ensure no Oreo peeks out to prevent it from burning.
Use a Cookie Scoop: This helps create uniform cookies that bake evenly.
Watch the Bake Time: Slightly underbake for soft, chewy centers.

Recipe Variants:

Peanut Butter Twist: Add ½ cup of peanut butter to the dough and use Peanut Butter Oreos.
Triple Chocolate: Use chocolate cookie dough and fill with chocolate-filled Oreos.
Mini Bites: Use mini Oreos and smaller scoops of dough for bite-sized treats.
Seasonal Flair: Try seasonal Oreo flavors for festive cookies (e.g., Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint).

FAQ about Oreo Inside Cookie:

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free Oreos to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, the wrapped cookie dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding 2–3 minutes to the bake time.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Over-softened butter or warm dough can cause spreading. Chilling the dough for 15–20 minutes helps maintain shape.
