Chocolate Oreo Cookies

These cookies are soft and chewy on the inside and a hint of crispy on the outside. Perfect if you ask me. I also prefer making them the smaller size with just 1 scoop of cookie dough. Giant cookies are fun, but can be a bit much. Which is why I enjoy these smaller sizes.

It's easy to make crushed Oreos. Use a food processor and place 4-6 cookies inside. Chop or pulse until desired consistency is reached.

Piping tips can be used to pipe frosting onto each cookie or spread with a knife.

Pro Tips

Room Temperature. Always use room temperature Ingredients. Allow Butter and Egg to sit on counter for 1 hour to soften. Do not over soften butter. It turns to mush and will not produce nice cookies.

Baking Sheet. I love to use parchment paper on baking sheets. It's an easy clean up. A well greased cookie sheet will also work fine.

Baking. Do not over bake. Of course that is a given. But what is the perfect timing to remove from oven? Cookies are done with cracked edges are set. On a chocolate cookie that can be difficult to determine, and you will not see any golden edges.

Cookie Scoop. I use a medium cookie scoop size #24. this helps ensure each cookie is the same size and shape.

Measuring Ingredients. I will always default to measuring dry ingredients when possible. My cookies always turn out perfectly when properly measured.

How to Store and Freeze Oreo Sugar Cookie Recipe

Cookies should be stored in a sealed container or ZipLoc bag for up to 1 week in refrigerator. Best if enjoyed within 2-3 days. Place a piece of parchment paper between cookie layers to help prevent sticking to each other.

Freeze Oreo Cookies and Cream Cookies for up to 3 months. I like to bake cookies and freeze, then when I'm ready to serve I will make up the Cream Cheese Frosting and top each cookie fresh. So simple and easy.
