ingredient notes
Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below!
- Chocolate chips: I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe but have also used regular-sized chips as well! You can substitute the semi-sweet for milk, dark, or bittersweet chocolate as well.
- Butter: Substitute the unsalted butter for salted if desired. Leave out the measured salt to keep them from being too salty.
- Oreos: Chop the Oreos into about pea-sized pieces before adding them to the dough. Big chunks of Oreo will make the cookies won't spread unevenly.
instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, use a spoon to cream the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until completely combined.
Step 2: Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until combined.
Step 3: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, mini chocolate chips, and chopped Oreo pieces to the bowl and mix until there is no more visible dry flour.
Step 4: Scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon-sized balls and top them with more chopped Oreos. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze for 20 minutes, or until frozen solid.
Step 5: Bake the cookies spaced three inches apart at 350 F/180 C for 13-14 minutes, or until just the edges are golden brown but the middle is still soft. Take the tray out of the oven and use a large biscuit or cookie cutter to scoot the edges to create a perfectly round cookie!
Let them cool completely on a wire cooling rack before removing, then enjoy!
expert cookie baking tips
- Use a kitchen scale: Baking with a scale is faster, easier, and overall much more accurate than cup measurements.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Using room temperature ingredients creates a smooth, fully blended dough that will result in a uniform texture and even baking.
- Let the dough chill: Allow the dough to chill for 20-30 minutes in the freezer until it feels completely solid. This will keep the cookies from spreading like pancakes!
- Don't overbake the cookies: As soon as the edges are golden brown, remove them from the oven. The cookies will continue to bake on the hot tray so you don't want to overbake them.
storage & freezing
- Room temperature: Store the baked cookies in a ziplock bag or sealed container at room temperature. They will stay soft and fresh for 3 days if stored properly!
- Freezer: Freeze the dough ball on a tray until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag or sealed container. They will stay fresh for one month.
faq's
Cookies can be tough to tell when they're done baking. Look for golden brown edges and a puffy middle. This is a good sign to take the cookies out of the oven as the cookies will continue to bake on the hot tray.
Absolutely! The dough can be made, scooped, then kept in the freezer until you are ready to bake them.
Yes! Once scooped, place the dough balls on a lined tray and freeze until solid. Then transfer the dough balls to a ziplock or sealed container to keep in the freezer for one month.
You can use any flavor! I have not tested this recipe with a double stuffed variety so I recommend using the regular filled variety.
