The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Cooking has been part of my life since I was a child, learning from my grandmother how to make traditional Greek dishes full of love and flavor. But sometimes, I love adding a playful twist to classic desserts and these Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are exactly that kind of fun.
The first time I made them, it was for my niece’s birthday. I wanted something more exciting than regular cookies, something that made everyone say “wow” after the first bite. I remember her face lighting up when she broke one open and found an Oreo hiding inside the warm, melty chocolate. That’s when I realized this cookie isn’t just a dessert it’s an experience.
This recipe blends the comforting taste of homemade chocolate chip cookies with the creamy crunch of Oreo cookies, creating the ultimate treat for cookie lovers. Whether you’re baking with kids, surprising friends, or just treating yourself after a long day, these cookies always bring smiles (and a bit of chocolate on your fingers).
So grab your apron let’s make Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies that are chewy on the outside, soft inside, and full of delicious surprises!
Ingredients
(Makes about 12 large stuffed cookies)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 whole Oreo cookies
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step builds the cookie’s chewy base and enhances its rich caramel flavor.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and creamy this gives your cookies that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 4: Stuff the Cookies
Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place an Oreo cookie in the center. Cover the Oreo with another tablespoon of dough and seal the edges so the Oreo is hidden inside.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and soft in the center. Let them cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies warm with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate on top or sprinkle with sea salt. These cookies also make a perfect gift—wrap them in brown parchment and tie them with a string for a rustic, homemade look.
