Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 package (about 36 cookies) regular Oreo cookies (classic or Halloween-themed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, take about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one Oreo cookie in the center, then mold another 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dough over the Oreo, sealing it completely.
  8. Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. The top will have a matte, velvety appearance.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading and keep the Oreo intact. If cookies spread too much, chill assembled cookies for 10 minutes before baking. Watch baking time closely to keep centers soft. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for best color and flavor. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to avoid breakage. For variations, try gluten-free flour, add espresso powder, or use different Oreo flavors.
