Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (160 g) crushed Oreoโs (about 10 cookies)
- 1/2 cup (114 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 ounces (85 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (177ยฐC) and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Crush Oreos: Using a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and set aside for later use.
- Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the unsalted butter and cream cheese at medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, with no lumps remaining.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, creating a light and fluffy consistency.
- Add Flour and Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the all-purpose flour by hand or on low speed, ensuring not to overmix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This step helps the dough firm up and develop richer flavors.
- Shape and Coat Cookies: Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball with your hands. Roll each dough ball in the reserved Oreo crumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake on the middle oven rack for 12-15 minutes. Depending on the size of your dough balls, baking may take up to 20 minutes. The cookies should look set but not browned.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dough for the full recommended time; this prevents excessive spreading during baking.
- Use room temperature butter and cream cheese for a smoother dough.
- The cookies will appear soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
- If you want extra crunch, add more Oreo crumbs to the coating or top each cookie with a few additional mini chocolate chips before baking.
