💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Simple ingredients. We use very simple and basic pantry staple ingredients for this recipe, so besides needing to buy some Oreos you should be pleasantly surprised to find most of the other ingredients are already at home in your pantry.
- No chilling required! I have very little patience, and when I want a cookie, I want it SOON, so these cookies were made with that in mind. There is no dough chilling required, so you can go from whisking flour to dunking a cookie in milk in just a few minutes.
- They're versatile. You can use any flavor of Oreo to make these oreo cookie chocolate chip cookies. You can grab the golden Oreos, mint versions, or holiday flavors, or keep it simple with plain Oreos. Double stuff and Mega stuff Oreos work well too.
🛒 Ingredients
Cornstarch- Adding cornstarch helps to make the cookies soft and tender. (This is also a tip we share with our Caramel Apple Cider Cookies).
Milk chocolate chips- You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips if desired. If you still have chocolate chips left over, make sure to use them up in our Rainbow Heart Cake and Smores Pie.
Mini Oreo cookies- These are used as a nice decoration in the center of the cookies, but they can be omitted if desired. I like to buy the tiny containers of them near the checkout stands at my grocery store.
Oreo cookies- Crushing up Oreo cookies and adding them to the cookie dough will help to give us a wonderful flavor throughout every cookie! We do this in our Cookies and Cream Pizookie too).
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use store-brand Oreos. Off-brand chocolate sandwich cookies taste almost identical once baked and cost far less, especially if you're making a large batch.
Save broken Oreos. These Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies use crushed cookies, so imperfect or broken Oreos are perfect, use the crumbs at the bottom of the package too.
Skip the mini Oreos. They're fun but optional. Use a small pinch of crushed cookies on top instead for a more budget-conscious finish.

👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Baking Tip: After baking the crushed Oreo chocolate chip cookies, let them sit on the baking sheet for at least 2 minutes (preferably longer). This allows them to finish cooking, set properly, and prevents them from falling apart when transferring to the cooling rack.
- Nonstick Baking Sheets: Experiment with different nonstick options for baking sheets, such as parchment paper, cooking spray, or silicone liners. Each option yields a different type of cookie:
- Parchment Paper: Produces thinner, softer, and chewier cookies.
- Silicone Liners: Results in thicker cookies with golden edges and a puffy center.
- Greased Baking Sheets: Yields darker cookies with an appearance and texture between silicone and parchment cookies.
Try different options to achieve your desired cookie texture and appearance.
❄️ Storage, Freezer & Make Ahead
Storage: Keep cooled Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They stay soft, chewy, and flavorful throughout the week.
Freezer: These cookies freeze beautifully. Once cooled, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Make Ahead: You can make the dough up to 2 days in advance. Keep it tightly covered in the fridge until ready to bake. For longer storage, scoop the dough into balls and freeze them. Bake directly from frozen by adding an extra minute to the bake time.
🥗 Side Dishes or Pairing Ideas
These Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk, a warm cup of coffee, or hot chocolate. They're also great alongside ice cream, especially vanilla or cookies-and-cream.

❓ Recipe FAQs
No. I do not recommend using margarine for these cookies because they will not turn out correctly if you do. Only butter (salted or unsalted) should be used. Margarine, oils, and even coconut oil will cause the cookies to spread too much- which we don't want.
Absolutely! You can switch things up however you want by using a different flavor of the oreo cookie. Chocolate mint in spring for St Patrick's day, peppermint for Christmas, etc. There are so many tasty possibilities!
The secret is in the sugar! White sugar will make the cookies more crunchy when baked, whereas brown sugar gives them a chewier result thanks to the added moisture from the molasses. Our cookie recipe uses both to create a wonderful cookie experience!
