Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Oreo chocolate chip cookies are large bakery style cookies. They are baked large to have a chewy gooey center. The cookies are loaded with Oreo crumbs, Oreo pieces, and chocolate chips! If you love Oreo, these cookies are for you!
These Oreo cookies are very similar to my brown butter chewy chocolate chip cookies. Instead of brown butter, there are loads of Oreos! I took the idea to use both Oreo crumbs and pieces from my baked Oreo cheesecake. It has so much Oreo flavor in each bite.
Luckily these cookies are very easy to make too! They do require a chill time, but it is worth it! You should also try my easy small batch chocolate chip cookies or these chewy Oreo Brookies.

Ingredients Notes for Oreo in Cookies
Here are some notes about the ingredients.
- All-purpose flour- I use regular all-purpose flour. You can also use 1:1 gluten free flour.
- Unsalted butter- Use good quality butter. It does need to be room temperature before using. Pull the butter and eggs out 2 hours before baking.
- Brown sugar- I personally used light brown sugar. There is extra brown sugar compared to sugar in this recipe to get a chewier cookie.
- Egg+ Egg yolk- I tried this recipe with 2 full eggs, but it caused them to spread too much and the dough was too wet. It is probably from the cream in the Oreos. Reducing the egg to an egg yolk helped. (I also increased the flour too!)
- Oreo- I used almost a whole regular pack of Oreos, since I also needed Oreos to top the cookies as well. You can use any flavor Oreo you wish, just don’t use double stuff.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Dairy free- You can use your favorite dairy free options for this recipe!
- Gluten free- I haven’t tested this gluten free. Let me know if you do.
- Brown sugar- You can also use dark brown sugar.
- Chocolate chips- You can use dairy free chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
Steps By Step Instructions- Oreo Cookie Dough
STEP 1: First, mix the dry ingredients. Use a sifter to make sure all the flour lumps are gone.
STEP 2: Next, blend the Oreos. I used a food processor to blend the cookies. Pulse the Oreos to a fine crumb. Then, for the pieces, it only needs to be pulsed a few times.
STEP 3: Then, beat the butter and sugars. Blend until it is super light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
STEP 4: Add in the dry ingredients. Then, add in the Oreo crumbs, pieces, and chocolate chips.
STEP 5: Chill the dough. It needs to be chilled, otherwise the cookies will spread a lot in the oven.
STEP 6: Bake the cookies. Use a large cookie scoop and make sure it is a rounded heap of cookie dough. If you weigh it, it weighs 3.5 oz. Next, bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes.
Baking Tips
First, pull the butter and eggs out 2 hours before baking. This lets the butter and eggs fully emulsify into the cookie dough when they are all the same temperature. This also helps to create a chewier texture.
The cookies NEED to be chilled. Another tip is wait for the cookies to chill, then scoop the entire batch of cookie dough.
Place the first batch (6 cookie dough balls) in the freezer while the oven preheats. Then, with the rest of the cookie dough balls, place them in the fridge until it is their turn. This helps to reduce spreading a lot.
Topping The Cookies
While this is optional, it does help to complete the look! Top the cookies with extra Oreo pieces and chocolate chips while the cookies are warm. This will make it look melty.
Also, top the cookies with extra Oreo crumbs.
FAQ
Yes! Just make sure they aren’t double stuffed. Any other flavor would work. Golden Oreos would be amazing.
Yes it can! Chill the dough for the initial 40 minutes. Then, scoop the dough. Wrap the cookie dough balls tightly and store in the fridge. If you aren’t making these cookies for at least 3-4 days then freeze. Bake the cookies straight from the freezer. Just allow for 1-3 extra minutes baking time.
I have not made these vegan. If you do make them, let me know!
Recipe Variations
- Oreos- You can use different flavor of Oreos! You can use gluten free Oreos, vanilla Oreos, or Halloween Oreos. So many options!
Special Tools
- Parchment paper: I use premade sheets of parchment paper vs the roll of parchment paper. It makes baking a lot easier!
- Large cookie scoop: I love this OXO cookie scoop.
Storing and Freezing
These Oreo chocolate chip cookies should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They will last up to 3-4 days.
Freezing
These Oreo chocolate chip cookies can be frozen after they are baked. Wrap the cookies in cling wrap in an air tight container. Freeze up to 30 days. Let the cookies thaw on the counter for 1 hour. Or microwave until warm.

- Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Add in chocolate chips, Oreo crumbs, and Oreo pieces. Chill for 40 minutes.1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the cookies using a large 3 oz cookie scoop. The cookie dough scoop should be a rounded heap. Place 6 balls on a cookie sheet and freeze until the oven is preheated. This gets them cold and they spread less. Scoop the rest of the dough on the other cookie sheet and place in the fridge while the others bake.
- Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes. The edges will be lightly golden brown and the middle with be slightly underdone. Let the cookies sit on the pan for 4 minutes. Use a biscuit cutter to scoot the cookies in a circular motion until round. Top with Oreo pieces and extra chocolate chips. Sprinkle Oreo crumbs on top. Then, transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool until slightly warm or cooled completely.
Delicious cookies. Easy recipe to follow and they turned out perfectly. I made smaller cookies than the recipe suggested.
After I mixed the flour and dry ingredients in it turned crumbly, not at all what is pictured in the video. Did I mix the flour too long? Did 2 3/4 cups.
So if you compact your flour, this will cause a crumbly dough. So if you take your measuring cup and scoop it into the flour directly, it will compact and give you way more flour than you intended. You need to take a spoon, and spoon it into the measuring cup. This will help so much!
I live these Oreo cookies . I make them all the time. Do you have a cookies and cream recipe?
No but I will add it to the list!
The whole family loved it ! Absolutely delicious. A big thank you
So so good. Whenever I make it, I get rave reviews! I veganised the recipe and it is still insanely delicious. This will be my go-to recipe
I made two batches recently for my daughter’s off. They went fast, to excellent reviews. And – THEY LOOKED GREAT. For some of them, I through in mini-M&Ms and broken mini Easter Eggs. It gave them some colour and some crunchiness, but that really wasn’t necessary.
These cookies are to die for!! This is my third time making them. Made them for my fiancé and his coworkers and they were a hit. Forever keeping this recipe!
I really loved it! Everyone we were baking for thought they were amazing. I definitely recommend this recipe.
Changed out the butter for Crisco so my son who is allergic to dairy could have them. They turned out amazing. He loved them! Thank you.
I always use butter flavored Crisco to make cookies especially my chocolate chip ones (recipe is on the back of container! THE best CC cookie!) But yeah, this is my “secret” ingredient that makes everyone ask why my cookies are so good and stay soft and chewy! 😉
This cookie is sooo good!!
I don’t know if I’ve commented here before but these are awesome! And so are all of Stephanie’s cookies. They are all huge hits. Gave your blog to everyone who has asked about the cookies:)
I made the small batch recipe at the end of the big recipe, which I was delighted to see. I used a 2 ounce cookie scoop, I got 13 cookies and baked them for 11 minutes. I also used half white chocolate chips half regular chocolate chips. These cookies are fantastic
As I read the ingredients my first thought was white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips. I said to myself, let me check out the comments to see if anyone used the white chocolate chips instead.. and looks like you are the only one who was thinking like me. Lol so my question is since you made them both ways, which was better the white chocolate chip ones or the milk chocolate chip ones?
I just made these with gluten free cup4cup and gluten free Oreos and they are amazing! It’s like eating two cookies in one and the flavors blend perfectly. Just slightly crunchy on the edges and gooey in the center. They’re perfect! Thanks for the recipe 🍪
I’m planning to make these cookies but my friend is gluten free. What else do I need to change besides gluten free Oreos and cups4cups. Are everything else gluten free?
Stephanie this is not the first cookie receipe I’ve tried from you and it certainly won’t be the last! These are incredible, hands down some of the best cookies I’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
Why not use double stuffed sandwich cookies? I can’t think of any reasons why.
Double stuff means there is more moisture. So using double stuff will cause the cookies to spread more.
