If there is one dessert I love making, it's anything with Oreo cookies.

I have tons of recipes that are stuffed with Oreos, from brookies to chocolate chip cookies, but this giant oreo cookie cake is my new favorite!

Cookie cakes are the best because they require no chill time and you don't have to scoop a bunch of cookie dough. Instead, it's baked together in a cake pan and it turns out super thick, gooey, and chewy!

You can easily make this recipe to serve a crowd, and it can be decorated for any birthday party, holiday, or other occasions!

oreo cookie cake slices on parchment paper.

why you'll love this recipe

  • It is one giant cookie baked in cake form! Why scoop or roll dough into individual cookies when you can bake it all together into one??
  • This recipe is so easy to make as it requires minimal prep time and only a few basic ingredients. There is no chill time before baking and it's done baking in 20 minutes!
  • This cookie cake is perfect for a birthday for anyone who doesn't like regular cake, or for any other special holiday or occasion!

ingredient notes

Find the full ingredient measurements and instructions in the recipe card below!

oreo cookie cake ingredients in bowls.
  • Brown sugar: I prefer light brown sugar for this recipe but dark brown sugar works as well.
  • Oreo cookie crumbs: You could substitute any flavor of Oreo you find at the grocery store like Halloween, or golden Oreos, or you can use a different kind of candy like heath bars!
  • Flour: This recipe has only been tested with all-purpose flour.
  • Egg yolk: The addition of the egg yolk makes this cookie cake super rich and extra chewy!

recipe instructions

You can make this recipe in one bowl with either a stand mixer or a hand mixer. You will need one 9-inch cake pan or springform pan to bake it in. Before you start, preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.

STEP ONE: If you are using a cake pan, butter the bottom and sides of the pan. Line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper in an X shape.

STEP TWO: Place a round of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan on top of the X. If you are using a springform pan, you will need to butter the pan and only line it with a parchment round on the bottom.

STEP THREE: Cream the butter and sugars. Cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy.

STEP FOUR: Mix in the wet ingredients. Mix in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

STEP FIVE: Fold in the dry ingredients. Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and crushed Oreos until just combined.

STEP SIX: Bake! Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan and add more chopped Oreos to the top.

Bake for 22-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For best results, let it cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.

STEP SEVEN: Decorate! Carefully lift it from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Fit a piping bag or ziplock bag with a large star tip, then fill the bag with buttercream. Pipe stars around the border of the top of the cake and then sprinkle them with more cookie crumbs if desired.

You can use extra frosting and decorate the whole cake as desired as well.

expert baking tips

  • Line the pan. This is especially important if you are using a regular cake pan and not a springform pan. The dough will stick to the pan and be very difficult to remove once baked if the pan isn't lined.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will ensure it has a uniform texture and bakes evenly.
  • Use a kitchen scale. Baking with a scale is much more accurate than cup measurements. To convert this recipe, click the "metric" button next to the ingredients title on the recipe card.

variations

Instead of classic Oreo cookies, try Golden Oreos, Java Chip, Halloween Orange, or other seasonal flavors!

Instead of buttercream frosting, try whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, or Oreo frosting! You can even top it with scoops of ice cream for an even more delicious treat!!

storage & freezing

  • Room temperature: If you are making it ahead of time, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature. Once frosted, store the slices in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  • Freezer: Store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month! You can freeze it with or without the buttercream frosting on top.

faq's

Can I bake the oreo cookie cake in a different-sized pan?

You could use an 8-inch springform pan for this recipe. It will take longer to bake because it will be thicker.

Can I use a different kind of Oreo?

Absolutely! You could easily substitute any of your favorite Oreo cookie flavors in place of the original.

Is it better to use a springform pan or a cake pan?

Using a springform pan is definitely the easiest to remove once it's baked, but I know not everyone has one. Follow the tips I have in the post for lining a regular cake pan and you shouldn't have any trouble!

Can I make this cookie cake without the Oreos?

Absolutely, you can just leave them out of the dough when making it. You could also add chopped candy like a heath bar as well!

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. If using a cake pan, cut two long strips of parchment paper to lay on the bottom and up the sides of the pan (see photo in post for visual). Then line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment. If using a springform pan, you only need to line the bottom of the pan.

  • Let the pan cool on a wire cooling rack completely before removing.
  • Tip: if using a cake pan, have someone help you grab all of the strips of parchment up to remove the cookie from the pan. Then pull the parchment off and place the cookie on a serving plate.
  • Mix the butter in a stand mixing bowl or with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
    6 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and salt until combined.
    ¾ cup powdered sugar, Pinch salt

  • Fill a pastry bag and use a star tip to decorate the top of the cake.
  • Enjoy!

    First, we all loved the Oreo Cookie Cake. It was a hit for my 21-year-old son's birthday dinner. Second, the biggest kudos to you, Cambrea, for the way you presented the recipe. I was so impressed that you embedded the amounts for each ingredient in the instructions. It was much easier to follow the recipe on a tablet or cell phone. Thanks for thinking of that! it really takes care of your blog followers. I'm a new one simply because of that detail!

    Absolutely phenomenal. I was worried this might be boring or average for our NYE dessert, but my GOSH, was it not.

    So moist, thick and chewy, flavorful. I will note I did cook mine a bit longer because it kept looking raw in the middle. Like raw raw.

    I used a springfoam pan and sprayed the sides with Baker's spray, popped out perfect. I feel like you could make this with other sweets besides oreos! Ideas could be endless!

    Thanks for a great treat 🙂

    Pure delicacy! I reduced my sugar and added a creamy peanut butter frosting to complete the cake. It made it even prettier.

    This recipe was so good! I cut the recipe in half and baked in a 6” cake round. It baked up perfectly in 22 minutes. Followed the instructions for lining the pan and it popped right out. This was so easy to make, my edges were a little crisp and so soft and cheery in the center. Will definitely make this again!

    I made this and omg it was so tasty! I had this teacher in hs who made my class a cookie cake for her birthday and it was so delicious, I've been looking for cookie cake recipes that taste the same ever since and this one was probably the closest to how hers was. She was my favorite teacher so this cookie cake brought back some good memories 💛 This recipe was super easy to make, I followed the tips offered and it made the baking process much easier. One of the tips that stood out to me was how to line the pan with parchment to make it easier to remove from the pan after baking and I think I'm going to continue using that trick for other cakes and cookie cake desserts I make in the future. The consistency of the cake was nice and soft and chewy, and the flavour was very balanced, not too sugary and not too floury and I enjoyed that a lot. I will definitely try other recipes by this baker in the future! 💜
