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 (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles.
- Use a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup of cookie dough) to scoop the dough. Flatten it out in your hand and place an Oreo in the center. Fold the dough over the Oreo and roll it to seal.
- Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them spaced apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes. They may look underdone or gooey in the middle; this is okay as they will continue to bake after coming out of the oven.
- As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
How to Serve Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are best served warm, straight from the oven. They pair perfectly with a glass of milk or a cup of hot chocolate. Ideal for Halloween gatherings, you can also arrange them on a festive platter to impress your guests.
How to Store Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies for a few months. Just make sure to place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Tips to Make Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the right dough consistency.
- Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies soft.
- Experiment with different types of Oreos for a fun twist, like double stuffed or seasonal flavors.
- Adjust the amount of Halloween sprinkles to add a festive touch according to your preference.
Variation
For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts or swapping the regular chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips. You can also use regular Oreos instead of Halloween-themed ones if they are not available.
