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.

Fabulous!!
Can I don’t add egg yolk into the dough?
I made this for my family turned out amazing! It was gone in an hour
Hi! I really like this recipe! Would it be ok to bake it as a cookie cake?
I haven’t tried it, but it should work!
Such a great recipe. These came out perfect. My family couldn’t stop raving over them. Thank you. This will be one of my go to favorites.
Do you use kosher salt or table salt in your baking recipes?
Do you use kosher salt or table salt in your recipes?
I will be making these for my son as part of his college care package. I noticed in the normal recipe it says “1 teaspoon Baking soda”; however, in the small batch recipe it says “¼ teaspoon baking soda” and “¼ teaspoon baking powder.” I was expecting it to just say “½ teaspoon baking soda. So is the baking powder missing from the normal recipe?
Can I replace the butter for margarine instead ?
These will be made again! Soft cookie with a great flavor. They are a sweet cookie! I made with dark chocolate Oreos (as they are a superior variant!) and they were wonderful.
Can you make the dough and freeze it until your ready to bake the cookies?
I would scoop the dough first, then freeze!
These cookies are a big hit any time I make them! I don’t take the butter out for two hours, though. I typically take it out about 20 minutes before I make the dough. I made about 2 dozen smaller cookies and baked at 375 for eight minutes. They’re perfect!
