How to Make Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 3/4 cup flour
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (more for topping)
- 9 Halloween Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together until smooth.
- Add the vanilla and egg to the mixture, mixing well until everything is combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt) to the wet mix. Stir just until everything is combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop out the cookie dough. Flatten it in your hand and place a Halloween Oreo in the center. Fold the dough over the Oreo and roll it to seal.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Don’t worry if they look gooey in the middle; they will continue to bake as they cool.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, top the cookies with extra chocolate chips. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
How to Serve Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Serve these cookies warm for the best experience. They go perfectly with a glass of milk or even a cup of hot cocoa on a chilly Halloween night. You can also plate them up for a festive dessert display at your Halloween party.
How to Store Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just place the cooled cookies in a single layer in a zip-top bag and freeze for up to three months.
Tips to Make Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Be careful not to overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients; this can make the cookies tough.
- Use a mix of chocolate chips for extra flavor. You can include milk chocolate or white chocolate chips alongside the semi-sweet ones.
- If you want to make the dough ahead of time, you can refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight. Just be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Variations
You can try using different flavors of Oreo cookies based on the season or occasion. Pumpkin spice, peppermint, or even birthday cake Oreos can add fun flavors to your cookies.
