🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- 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
Ingredient Notes:
Cornstarch- Adding cornstarch helps to make the cookies soft and tender. (This is also a tip we share with our Caramel Apple Cider Cookies).
Leavening Agents- We will use baking powder and baking soda to help these cookies puff up and rise nicely as they bake.
Sugars- Using brown sugar and granulated white sugar will help us get the perfect cookie taste and consistency.
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).

🍴 Recipe 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.
⏲️Make Ahead Instructions
Chilling Options: Chill the dough in the freezer for a short time or in the fridge for longer. Depending on the desired quantity of cookies, consider shuffling the dough around for even chilling.
Storage Strategy: To streamline baking, consider balling out all of the dough on one baking sheet and placing it in the fridge or freezer while cooking another sheet pan full.
Advance Preparation: If making the dough ahead, keep it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
👩🏻🍳 Storage
Room temp. If kept in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookies could last up to 5 days and still taste great.
Freezer. Yes, these cookies can be frozen! To do this, simply allow the cookies to cool completely before placing into an airtight container and freezing for up to 3 months.
💭 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!
