How To Make Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, add flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt and mix.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and mix it into the dough.
- Using a two tablespoon medium cookie scoop, form the dough into two tablespoon balls. You should have 32 equal portioned cookie dough balls when you are finished scooping, and you will need two dough scoops for each cookie.
- Flatten a dough ball with your hands a little and place a whole Oreo cookie on top in the middle of the dough horizontally. Place a second dough ball on top of the Oreo cookie. Pinch the cookie dough closed around the edge of the Oreo. Repeat until you have 16 cookie dough balls stuffed from the remaining dough.
- Place the dough balls all on one cookie sheet about an inch apart. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the tops of the cookie dough balls. Place the pan of cookie dough into the freezer for at least 10 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheight. Place cookies on a parchment lined large baking sheet six at a time, with at least two inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake cookies for 16 minutes. The bottoms will be golden brown, but it’s ok if the tops of the cookie seem a little underbaked. Leave cookies on the hot baking sheet for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling for the best results. Repeat baking additional trays of cookies, then enjoy!
Variation Ideas
- Different Flavors Of Oreos– I used a double stuffed Oreo in the center which gave a big wow. You can totally swap in regular Oreos, your favorite Oreo flavor or Golden Oreo flavor. (Or try other brands of sandwich cookies too!)
- Swap The Chocolate Chips– While I liked semi-sweet chocolate chips in these cookies and think they produce the best result flavor-wise, you can use white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips. Or get even more creative by substituting peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips.
Can I Make This Recipe With Premade Dough?
You sure can make this recipe with premade dough. If using the chocolate chip cookie dough tubes, make sure you use four tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie.
If using cookie dough that has already been portioned it will depend on the size of the cookies. I have found for most preportioned cookie dough it takes three to four cookie dough portions to make one of these cookies, so you may need to experiment a little. Let me know if you try it!
When using premade cookie dough you will need to let the dough sit on the counter to soften so you can use it to wrap the Oreo cookies.
How Long Will These Stuffed Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies Last?
These cookies will taste their freshest for about three days when stored on the counter in an airtight container. They can last for four or even five days easily, but won’t taste as fresh. To be honest, we usually don’t have extra cookies for that long!

Notes
Baking one tray of cookies at a time in the center of the oven will help ensure these cookies all bake evenly. This is extra important for these cookies because they are thick cookies.
Don’t skip placing the dough in the freezer! This helps to ensure the cookies bake at the right speed with the chocolate Oreo in the middle. Without freezing, the cookie dough will spread too fast.
Using a cookie scoop is the easiest way to make sure the dough is even. If you don’t have a medium cookie scoop, you can measure the dough with a tablespoon or 1/4 cup measure to ensure the dough is more even.
Try not to overmix the dough. Too much mixing when you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients can cause a drier cookie.
