My pants are tight.
Snug as a bug in a rug, people.
And do my friends bring me carrot sticks or offer to run with me? Oh no. Instead, they call my attention to cookie recipes involving Oreos stuffed inside two chocolate chip cookies.
I’m not one to place blame or name drop *cough* Rachel *cough*, since many of my friends do this. But y’all are killing me. You know I’m weak when it comes to sugary confections.
My advice to you – make these. But make them right before you’re meeting a friend, or sibling, or an entire preschool class. So you can pawn them off on other victims recipients. If not, make them now, while it’s still March and not bathing suit season. Because once that happens, I cannot be held responsible.

One last thing: I posted pics on my blog. It’s not a food blog at all, so here’s a direct link to the exact post that I put all the pictures under ;) They are a bit darker than yours, because of the dark brown sugar. http://malihaissounpronounceable.tumblr.com/post/45249546990/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies-i-am-a
I just made these and OH SWEET LAWD are they flawless!!!! I used dark brown sugar instead of light, and I only made 20, as I covered the Oreos in a tiny bit too much batter. I have never made anything before without screwing it up royally before, and I am ridiculously pleased (and probably a bit conceited, too) about the results. Thank you ever so much for this lovely, lovely recipe!
Thank you for this recipe. I just made them with Girl Scout thin mints and they are amazing!
im guessing the parchment paper is just so they dont stick to the pan. can i just use cooking spray or nothing at all? i dont have parchment paper and had to google silpat to figure out what it was.
Hi Angel – yes, you could substitute foil coated with cooking spray.
Any idea of the carb count on these? Sorry to be a pain…my 5 year old was recently diagnosed with type I diabetes (not related to his diet, pancreas just not working anymore) and holiday baking has been a NIGHTMARE! He would love to have one of these, just not sure how I would dose him with insulin. If you don’t know, I can always just guess…:)
Greetings Becky – not a pain at all. One of my dearest friends has a 4YO with Type 1 (diagnosed at the age of 2!)…so difficult. I’m sorry to say that I do not know the calorie count, but you might Google for the information on 2 large chocolate chip cookies and 1 Double Stuffed Oreo cookie, then add the calorie count together ?? HOWEVER, that is just a gauge. I am by no means a doctor or educated source on this matter.
two of my favorite cookies together, looking forward to trying this!
Can you use refrigerated cookie dough for this receipe? Or does it have too much oil in it? Will it flatten out? Just asking, to save some time
Hi Holly – I’ve never used the refrigerated cookie dough, but if memory serves me right, there have been several readers who have and they came out fine. I highly recommend reading through some of the comments to see what they said.
I followed the direction exactly and they came out looking just like the picture. I did find that 13 minutes was not long enough for me and I used and ice cream scoop. I was going to try it 3 ways. Putting them together as directed, letting the second scoop sit on top and melt down, and then in a cupcake pan. After the first 5 (formed as directed) I figured out to play with the dough to form it like a hockey puck. You do have to do it as soon as the dough is made because the longer you let it sit out the dryer it get. Wish I could post the picture, but these cookies are def going to keep us going through the cold Alaska Winter.
I love both chocolate chip cookies and oreos, so I was quite enthusiastic to try these cookies. They turned out perfectly and were easy to make per the recipe. However, once I tried them, I realized there’s something about the two different types of chocolate in one bite that I personally didn’t like. :(
Does the cream filling of the oreo not melt out of the cookie? I mean, me and my mom have been meaning to make this for a while, but we’re stumped on the oreo cream part. Will it stay in the chocolate chip?
Hi Heather – no, the cream of the oreo does not melt. These cookies are more firm than they are soft and gooey. And they’re huge.
Can you use single stuff oreos? or won’t it be as good?
I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Keep in mind you won’t have as much white filling and the ratio of chocolate chip cookie to Oreo will be even larger.
Hi, I followed the recipe exactly as stated with the correct ingredients and sizes, yet the dough cam out very peanut-butter like and made 5th step impossible. Any recommendations to get a more cookie-dough texture? Thank you!
Hi Danny – sorry you had problems. This has never happened for me, but you might want to read through all the other comments to find some helpful suggestions. Good luck!
Can you post the ingredients in grams, please?
Use cups it’s difficult!
Hi Francy – here’s a converter where you can convert cups, grams, ounces, etc. http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cooking-conversions/gram-conversions-general.aspx
Hmmm not as troublesome as some of you are commenting. No need for Pam on your hands, no need to make sorrournd the oreo itself at all. I made them just by looking at one of those online pictures I happened to come accross with the sentence “You know you want them”. That was Friday, yesterday I made them. Just make your standard CCC recipe (with butter). Let it sit so that it is gooey (only takes maybe 5 mins) then take your cookie sheet and…1-drop a scoop of cookie dough, 2-take your oreo and lightly press it onto the CCC drop then…3-drop another scoop of CCC dough on top of the oreo….4- HINT the dropplet of top should be about flush with your oreo…5-bake per CCC instructions (350 9-12 mins or until golden brown)..This is what ends up happening, since the dough is gooey it sorrounds the oreo all on its own while its baking. The top flows over and onto the bottom. Result the perfect cookie without the mess all over your hands and NO broken oreos. I was wondering why many were saying the oreos were breaking and I read further and I was like AHHHH thats why! No need for all that your prep time will be much faster, and less messy which means you’ll be able to enjoy that cookie even sooner. Enjoy!
I just made these today as a surprise for my husband for our anniversary… these are seriously the BEST cookies I’ve ever made in my life!!!!!!! He just about died!!!!
I MADE THESE! THEY WERE SO GOOD! What’s with the starting bit?
hahah :P
I wonder if you used the mini snack size Oreo cookies? IDK but sounds like you’d have a whole bunch of little parties in your mouth instead of one big one! Has anyone tried it? Sounds aWeSoMe!!!
Why so much flour?
She made a mistake. I’ve made choc chip cookies hundreds of times….it should be either 2.25 or 2.5 cups of flour.
There’s actually no mistake, Sonia. Something to keep in mind is that these are not just any ‘ol chocolate chip cookie…in essence, they are really TWO cookies surrounding an Oreo, so you do need that flour. Also, it’s worth pointing out that hundreds of others have made these cookies without this issue :D
After further observation…I do see an increase in sugar so the recipe ratio is good…sorry I just went by the previous comment and focused on the flour and I was like hmmm too much but maybe not so much. Sorry, I jumped the gun….but I did put another comment with the way I ‘constructed’ the cookie itself. I’m on maternity leave so I have tons of time on my hands…Ive never commented on these forums before, I’m a newbie!
Yep, I saw that. All good. Whatever works for you! I actually think these cookies are so easy to make, I’m constantly surprised when someone has difficulty. I’d say 90% of people who make these don’t have any problems, and then there are the 10% who say they flatten, spread, too gooey, etc. Hm. Congrats on your baby!
I DOUBLED IT AN IT MAD THE WHOLE BOX THING OF OREOS :)
OMG!!! Best guilty treat I’ve seen in ages..my niece, who’s preggo, will be my “taste-tester” she can get away with them. Thanks for sharing.
Yum
Can I use an already made cookie mix from a box? and can i ditch the cookie scoop for a spoon?
I couldn’t say, personally, since I’ver never tried it. But you could read through the comments…I think a few people have done that.
DO IT I DID!
Hint: If you freeze the oreo cookies before making them, you avoid broken cookies.
Overall, they were delicious and super easy to make!
Great idea! :) You are one smart cookie. :)
I haven’t made them yet, but my taste buds are already thanking me because they know it’s going to happen soon!
LOVE YAHHH
I don’t know if it’s because I suck at cooking or what… But these were tedious to make. Haha they tasted great though.
I made these for the first time last year, and now EVERYONE wants me to make them for everything. They are amazing and I am terriable at baking. On Superbowl I took about 3-4 Rollo’s and put them inside, instead of the Oreos. They are a bit of a pain to get the cookie dough around, but they came out with chocolate and carmel oozing out. So good.
I made these and they came out delicious. Now everyone wants me to make them for events and birthdays and what not. I didn’t exactly get 2 dozen cookies, I was a little shy, but I think that was because at first I was using too much cookie dough to wrap around the oreo.
Soooo gna makr these yummmm heaven! Make ray these try reeses cups in there too or snicks rays fav!
WOW, is all I can say about these cookies. I think I have to try them :)
Just made these with my wife and kids. Not only was it easy and fun (we actually just used the pillsbury tube of cookie dough), but… O… M…. G….
I have no words to describe the party that is going on in my mouth.
I was so excited when I saw this recipe on Tue that I had to make them today, Sat.
I’m no baker. I’m one of those people who loves to read recipes and reviews but I’m scared to try anything, even though I have a fabulous KitchenAid mixer.
So tonight I had six people over, and being the Oreo’s 100th Anniversary Week, I had to make these.
Here are a few hints for the non-bakers.
The recipe is easy to follow. However, with the first few, I kind of moved them around my hands like someone making meatballs would. That ended up with a lot of broken Oreos within the choc chip cookie batter, although no one would probably know the difference. But I did learn that working with your fingers vs. the palms of your hands DEFINITELY fixes that problem.
The other thing is you really can’t bury more than six Oreos into the batter before it’s time to put the batter into the fridge for a good thirty minutes. It just gets WAY too soft/warm/melty.
So now you’ve made six cookie/Oreo bombs, refrigerated the dough and made six more and put them on your fancy-schmancy Silpat, and baked them. My oven took a good 20 minutes. These, like I said, are bombs, not cookies. They’re huge.
Everyone I made them for said they were DELICIOUS but tasted exactly as if I had baked chocolate chip cookies and put them on a plate with a side of Oreos. In other words, not worth the effort. Bake a cookie, take a bite, them take a bite of an Oreo and you get the same (albeit easy) thing.
OH, PS…With this recipe I made 22 Oreo-stuffed cookies and put the rest of the batter in the freezer, which will easily make an additional dozen regular chocolate chip cookies. No one can eat more than two or three of these and it definitely makes more than the two dozen the recipe says.
love ya idea
Wonderful!:) I signed up the recipe!;)
So. Much. Win!!!!
Also use cupcake tins.
made them today…when my talkative sister came to visit, I didn’t hear a peep from her while she was eating them, I looked over to see her reaction and she had this huge chocolatey smile. :)
Suggestion: I used someone else’s suggestion about putting pam on my hands and then making two scoops of dough and placing the oreo in the middle and then shaping the dough around the oreo. Also, my dough only made 18 cookies. They are HUGE but delish.
this is exactly what I’m making once my cheat day comes for my diet. SALIVATE!
That is hysterical. :)
I made these on Sunday for our little Oscar party and they were a huge hit! And for someone with no culinary bone in her body, they were pretty simple to make.
Made these last night and they were DE-LISH! I do have one hint (to keep them from flattening out)… First spray your hands with Pam or other non-stick spray. After you have made your balls and placed your Oreo in the middle, make them form right up againt the side of the Oreo (they will look more like a ball instead of a pancake)… Then bake. Mine came out perfect. Thanks for the recipe! This might be the World’s Best Cookie!
Wow these look amazing, might make these as a chemo-treat for my dad. He was so happy when he showed him these :)
Wow, that’s a true testament to their awesomeness. Think of the smile you’ll get from him once he eats one!
We made your cookies and we are calling them Hidden Treasure Cookies! They turned out perfectly and are being devoured as we speak <3
I made these for Valentines day. Amazing! And yes, use a muffin pan to hold it shape. Or you could always cut off the extra cookie left around the Oreo. :)
These are AMAZING! So glad I found your site! I love it!
Made these for the Super Bowl and they got rave reviews! My only question is if you have any suggestions to prevent them looking like UFOs (for lack of a better description!). The dough ended up flatting out around the sides of the Oreo, so while it was still completely covered with dough, they ended up looking like regular flat chocolate chip cookies with a big lump in the middle (the Oreo), as opposed to keeping the shape of the Oreo. They still tasted delicious, this is just an esthetic-type question for next time :)
Hi there Kay – I’ve made these a few times now and haven’t had any issues, but I recall a few other people writing in saying theirs flattened. I remember one comment from a gal who said she placed them in muffin tins to retain their round shape. You could try that maybe? Other than that, and I know it’s somewhat of any arduous task, you could sift through all the comments…there might be some other suggestions in there.
I haven’t tried these yet… but I might try putting them in a muffin top pan. Kind of a compromise between the muffin tin and the cookie tray options. The lip might be big enough to help hold up the edges. :)
Try putting the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes (or freezer if you’re pressed for time) before you put them together with the oreo. Cold cookie dough before baking makes for taller, prettier cookies :)
