Ingredients List
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Filling:
- 15–20 Oreo cookies
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the cookie dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Step 2: Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble the stuffed cookies
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk. Place an Oreo in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely. Ensure the cookie dough fully encases the Oreo.
Step 4: Bake the cookies
Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm to enjoy the melted chocolate experience, or store for later.

FAQs
1. Can I use double-stuffed Oreos instead of regular Oreos?
Yes, double-stuffed Oreos add extra cream filling for a richer experience. Be mindful that the cookies may need slightly longer baking time to ensure the dough cooks fully.
2. How can I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?
Chill the cookie dough for 15–20 minutes before baking. Additionally, ensure the dough completely encases the Oreo to maintain shape. Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat also helps prevent excessive spreading.
3. Can I make these cookies ahead of time and bake later?
Absolutely. Assemble the cookies, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
