Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Textural and Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- Frosting
Instructions
- Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ cup cocoa powder, and ½ tsp salt until completely combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream ½ cup room temperature butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture, adding 2 tsp vanilla extract. Beat each egg thoroughly before adding the next.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing your dough.
- Crush 10 Oreo cookies into small chunks. Fold these 1 cup of cookie pieces into your cookie dough with a gentle hand.
- Position your oven rack in the center and preheat to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized dough portions onto prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for exactly 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Your cookies should have crispy edges but soft centers when removed.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes before adding frosting decoration.
Notes
- Crush Oreos roughly for better texture and visible cookie chunks in each bite.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed cookie dough.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend and ensure your Oreos are also gluten-free.
