What's better than an Oreo cookie? An Oreo cookie IN a chocolate chip cookie. Just trust me on this one. You get the best of both cookie worlds in one delicious bite. No decision making required.

These easy-to-make cookies are perfect for bringing to parties or serving as an after school snack or evening sweet treat.

❤️ Why this recipe works

Easy to make: there's nothing complicated about this cookie recipe and anyone can make it no matter what kind of baking equipment you have. I like to use my stand mixer, but you can easily make it with a hand mixer or simply with a bowl and spatula.

Uses granulated and brown sugar: mixing the two sugars creates depth, caramel notes, and a chewy center without making the cookies overly sweet.

Thick and soft cookies: because the cookie dough requires chilling, the butter firms up, preventing spread and intensifying flavor for chewy-on-the-inside, crisp-on-the-edges cookies.

Easy to customize: Oreos and chocolate chips are the perfect cookie combination, but there are so many options for what you can add to this cookie dough to make these cookies your own.

🗒 Ingredients

Here's everything you need for my Oreo chocolate chip cookies (be sure to view the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions):

• Unsalted butter
• Light brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Large eggs
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Chocolate chips
• Oreo cookies

🍪 Recipe tips

• Coarsely chop the Oreo cookies. You want some big chunks for crunch and smaller bits that melt into the dough for the perfect cookies and cream balance.

• I use original Oreo cookies, but you can use any kind you want to take these cookies in a whole new flavor direction!

• Use room temperature butter and eggs. Using room temperature ingredients ensures butter and sugars cream together smoothly and helps the eggs incorporate evenly into the dough for a uniform texture.
  
• Don't over-mix the dough. Once you add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mix only until combined. Over-mixing activates the flour's gluten and can make the cookies tough.

• Gently fold the chopped Oreos and chocolate chips into the cookie dough.

• Don't skip chilling your dough. One hour in the fridge will help solidify the butter so the cookies don't spread too much in the oven. Feel free to chill the dough overnight if you want.

• I recommend using a cookie scoop to form cookie dough. For these cookies, I use a #20 scoop, which is about 3 tablespoon cookie dough.

• After placing cookie dough on parchment paper-lined baking sheet, I highly recommend topping the dough with some additional chocolate chips and chopped Oreos. This will add to the visual appeal when the cookies are baked!

• Cookies will take about 12-14 minutes to bake and you want to remove from the oven right when you notice edges turning golden since you want the center of the cookies to remain soft.

• Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving to a metal rack to cool completely. Or eat one warm. Because is there anything better?

These are the BEST chocolatey cookies and cream cookies and will make any dessert lover happy.

Honestly, I love Oreo cookies, but I'd rather eat a chocolate chip cookie WITH Oreo cookies pieces than an Oreo cookie on its own.

⏲️ How to store

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

If you prefer, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week. Be sure to let the cookies sit at room temperature before serving so they soften back up.

You can also freeze the baked cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They should keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp or pop in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that fresh-baked consistency.

If you want to freeze the cookie dough, that's also an option. Scoop the dough balls onto a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and when ready, bake directly from frozen. You'll likely need to add a minute or two to the baking time.

🎉 Variations on recipe

I happen to think these cookies are perfection. But one of the things I like best about them is there there's so much you can do to make them your own!

Here are some ideas for variations you can make on Oreo chocolate chip cookies:

• Use the Oreo cookie flavor of your choice. You can try anything from Birthday Cake Oreos to Golden Oreos to Peanut Butter, Java Chip, and Apple a La Mode. Any time Oreo comes out with a new flavor, you should try them in there cookies!
• Use the chocolate chips of your choice. I use semisweet chocolate chips here, but you can use dark chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter, or even cinnamon chips.
• Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts.
• Add mini marshmallows.
• Add sprinkles.
• Replace ¼ cup of butter with ½ cup peanut butter.
• Enhance chocolate flavor with 1 tablespoon espresso powder or instant coffee.
