How to Make Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, start out by chopping the chocolate bar and the Oreo cookies into smaller pieces. Don’t chop them too fine – just large chunks or bite size pieces are fine. Then, sift the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside.
Next, cream the butter with an electric mixer in a separate bowl until soft and fluffy. You can also use a stand mixer for this step. Gradually add the brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each egg. Then, gradually add the flour mixture, and mix well. You can use a hand mixer or wooden spoon. Just don’t over mix the dough.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix the chopped Oreos, white and semi sweet chocolate chips and the chocolate chunks into the chocolate chip cookie dough with the spatula or spoon.
Then, place the cookie dough into the refrigerator to chill. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes. Preheat the oven while the dough is chilling. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. You can also use aluminum foil or silicone baking sheets.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto the cookie sheets. Keep the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart.If you don’t have a cookie scoop, just drop 2 tablespoons of dough on the lined baking sheet. Place the remaining Oreo pieces on top of the dough balls. If you really love chocolate, then you can also add extra chocolate chips on top too.
Place the cookie sheet on the middle rack in the preheated oven. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and a light golden brown. Do not over bake. Place the cookies on a cooling rack, where they will firm up.
Storage
Keep these chewy cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can freeze the cookies for longer storage in freezer bags — they freeze very well for up to 3 months.
Variations and Substitutions
You can use mini Oreos in place of larger ones. Use any flavor Oreo — You can use a different flavor to make cookies for different holidays. If you don’t want the extra chocolate, you can omit the chocolate bar.
Recipe Tips
We like to add a slice of bread to the container or freeze bag. It really does help homemade cookies stay fresh!
Chill cookies before baking to prevent them from spreading.
Don’t over bake. When the edges are firm, the cookies are done, although the center may be soft.
Keep some frozen dough balls in the freezer and bake when you get a cookie craving!
FAQ
Yes. Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven and becoming flat.
The best way to keep cookies soft is to let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread. Also, don’t over bake the cookies.
Yes, you can! You can cover the dough bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also scoop the dough into balls and freeze the dough balls in a freezer bag for up to six months.
