Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (or plant-based alternative for dairy-free)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips as desired)
  • 12 whole Oreos (Halloween-themed if possible; mini Oreos can be used for smaller surprises)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with both brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips for bursts of melty goodness.
  2. Shape the dough around Oreos: Divide the cookie dough into even portions, about 2 tablespoons each. Flatten a dough ball in your hand, place a whole Oreo cookie in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around it, sealing completely to encase the Oreo inside. Ensure the dough covers the Oreo fully to prevent it from melting out during baking.
  3. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden but the center remains soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack, preserving their chewy texture and warm Oreo surprise.
  4. Cool and enjoy: Once cooled slightly, dig into these Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies immediately for the best gooey experience, or store them for later enjoyment. The chocolate and Oreo layers meld beautifully for a sweet, festive treat.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Make sure the dough completely encloses each Oreo to avoid any leaks in the oven.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when centers still look slightly soft for ultimate chewiness.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Measure ingredients accurately to ensure consistent cookie size and baking results.
