Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 12 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, ensuring a smooth and well-incorporated mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to create a uniform dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Take approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disc shape in your hand.
- Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center of the flattened dough, then carefully wrap the dough around the Oreo, completely encasing it and sealing the edges.
- Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the filling set and prevent burning.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother dough and better incorporation of ingredients.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined to keep your cookies tender and chewy.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Use Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor. You can even mix in dark chocolate chips for an extra decadent touch.
- Bake in Batches: If you’re making multiple trays of cookies, bake them in batches to ensure even baking. Rotate the trays halfway through for consistent results.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake; they should be golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to creating the ultimate cookie experience that everyone will rave about!
