Ingredients You’ll Need for Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 package Halloween Oreos

How to Make Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined — the mixture should be light and fluffy.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined — don’t overmix!
Fold in the chocolate chips to create that rich, chocolaty dough.
Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, place an Oreo in the center, and wrap the dough around the Oreo to completely encase it — sealing the magic inside.
Place the stuffed cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center looks soft and chewy.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely — the sweet smell will fill your home!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Nutty Additions: Fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy surprise that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of chocolate.
Minty Delight: Swap out Halloween Oreos for mint-flavored Oreos to create a fresh, zesty twist.
Candy Crush: Sprinkle some crushed candy on top of the cookies before baking for an extra spooky flair that’s colorful and fun.
Fruity Variation: Add dried cranberries or cherries for a hint of tartness to balance the richness of the cookie.
