Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 110 g (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 100 g (½ cup) caster sugar
- 50 g (¼ cup) brown sugar
- 200 g (1 ¼ cups + 3 tbsp) plain (all purpose) flour
- 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 0.5 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 120 g (¾ cup + 3 tbsp) dark chocolate, chopped (plus extra for studding)
- 6 Oreos, crumbed
- 6 Oreos, roughly chopped (plus extra for studding)
Instructions
- Prepare baking tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure a non-stick surface for baking.
- Create cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, caster sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and paler in color. Add the vanilla extract and mix through evenly. Next, sift in the plain flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Mix until evenly combined and the dough is damp but not clumping. Stir in the crumbed Oreos, roughly chopped Oreos, and chopped dark chocolate. Finally, add the egg and mix until the dough starts to clump together.
- Form and chill dough balls: Divide the dough into thirteen equal cookie dough balls. Arrange them spaced apart on the prepared baking tray. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up the dough; chill longer or freeze the dough balls for later baking if desired.
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Position cookies on the tray with enough space for spreading, about four per tray works best.
- Bake cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until the edges become golden and crisp. Immediately after baking, press a few extra Oreo pieces and chocolate chunks onto the warm cookies for added texture and visual appeal.
- Cool and store: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking tray before carefully removing them. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies!
Notes
- Chilling the cookie dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading and to develop better texture.
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls before baking for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen with a couple minutes added to baking time.
- Using a mixture of crumbed and chopped Oreos adds different textures within the cookie.
- For extra gooeyness, press additional chocolate and Oreo pieces onto cookies immediately after baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze baked cookies for longer storage.
