Oreo Cookies

Can we talk about how this is my very first Oreo recipe? That honestly feels crazy to me because I absolutely love Oreos, especially dunked in milk, yes please! If you’re wondering what an Oreo actually is, it’s a classic American sandwich cookie made with two dark cocoa biscuits and a sweet, creamy vanilla filling. It’s famous for the iconic “twist, lick, dunk” ritual and is loved all over the world.

Here in the UK, we don’t get quite as many Oreo flavours as the US (which makes me very jealous!). We have the classics like Original, Double Stuffed, Golden Oreos (my personal favourite), the brownie-flavoured ones, YUM, and seasonal flavours like gingerbread. In the US though? There are so many more flavours and variations, and I’d happily try every single one!

For this cookie recipe, I used classic Oreos. Some are finely crushed and mixed into the dough to give the cookies a subtle cookies and cream flavour throughout, while extra chopped Oreos are folded in for those iconic Oreo chunks in every bite. I’ve added white chocolate to these cookies because it pairs perfectly with the Oreo flavour, making them extra creamy and indulgent. That said, you can easily swap the white chocolate for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even use a mix of all three.

If you’re an Oreo lover, you are going to love these cookies. They’re soft, packed with flavour, and absolutely perfect for dunking into a cold glass of milk.

Ingredients

  • Butter- I use unsalted butter for these chocolate chip cookies, Unsalted butter gives you full control over the salt content in your cookie dough! It creates a rich, buttery base and Using room-temperature butter helps cream it smoothly with sugar, giving your cookies a perfectly soft and chewy structure.
  • Sugar- Caster sugar adds sweetness and helps achieve slightly crispy edges, giving that classic bakery-style cookie finish. You can use a mix of caster sugar and light brown sugar if you’d prefer. light brown sugar will add a slight caramel flavour!
  • Eggs- Eggs provide structure, stability, and moisture. They help bind the ingredients together and contribute to that soft and rich interior that makes cookies irresistible. This recipe uses one large egg and 1 egg yolk for the perfect consistency. I like to add an extra egg yolk as it makes the cookies richer, softer and chewier cookie!
  • Raising Agents-I use baking powder and bicarb for these cookies. Baking powder helps to make the cookies rise, and maintain a risen structure. Bicarb reacts with the sugar which gives the cookies rise and softness without being cakey!
  • Salt- Adding 1/2tsp salt really enhances the flavour of the cookies!
  • Flour- I use plain flour for these cookies then add my raising agents. this is also known as all purpose flour!
  • Cornflour- Adding cornflour makes the texture even better so don’t skip this! it is also known as corn starch! if you don’t have access to this, don’t worry you can still make delicious cookies! just add 20g more plain flour!
  • Golden Syrup- A game-changer for the perfect cookie texture! Golden syrup keeps the cookies moist and adds a light chewiness. It helps bind the ingredients while enhancing the overall flavour. If you’re looking for gooey, soft-centred cookies, golden syrup is a must.
  • Chocolate- I used chopped up white chocolate in these cookies as i love a chunky pool of chocolate in my cookies. but also because supermarket own brand chocolate is a lot cheaper than chunks or chips. a 100g bar is 50p here in the uK, chocolate chips are around £1.50 for 100g! so i make my own chunks by chopping up the chocolate!
  • Oreo biscuits- Finely crushed– Finely crushed Oreos are mixed into the dough to give these cookies a subtle cookies-and-cream flavour throughout.
  • Oreo biscuits- Chopped– Larger chunks of Oreos are folded into the dough for that classic Oreo flavour and texture in every bite.

Tips and Tricks

  • Don’t overmix the dough– Overmixing can lead to dense or tough cookies. Once the egg is added, mix just until combined to keep your cookies soft and chewy.
  • Use crushed and chopped Oreos– Finely crushed Oreos give the dough flavour throughout, while chopped Oreos add texture and visible chunks. This combination creates the best cookies and cream cookie texture.
  • Chill the dough if needed– If you want your cookies to spread and create thinner cookies, you can skip chilling! If you want chunkier cookies, freeze for 1 hour.
  • Don’t overbake– Oreo cookies should look slightly underbaked in the centre when you take them out of the oven. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool, keeping the centres soft and chewy.
  • Switch up the chocolate– White chocolate pairs perfectly with Oreos, but milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a mix of all three work beautifully too.
  • Add extra Oreos on top– Press a few Oreo chunks into the tops of the cookies after baking for a bakery-style finish and extra Oreo flavour.
  • Use cookie rings for perfectly round cookies– If your cookies spread more than expected, don’t worry, there’s an easy fix! As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, place a round cookie cutter or metal cookie ring slightly larger than the cookie over the top and gently swirl it around. This reshapes the cookie into a perfect circle while it’s still soft. This simple trick is a favourite among bakers and gives your Oreo cookies a professional, bakery-style finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of Oreos?

Yes! Classic Oreos work best, but you can also use Golden Oreos, Double Stuffed Oreos, or flavoured Oreos. Just note that cream-heavy Oreos may make the dough slightly softer.

Can I make these Oreo cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely. The cookie dough can be made up to 48 hours in advance and stored covered in the fridge. You can also freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.

How do I store Oreo cookies?

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4–5 days. They stay soft and chewy for several days.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes, these cookies freeze really well. Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before serving.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

This can happen if the butter was too soft or the dough wasn’t chilled. Chilling the dough helps control spreading and results in thicker cookies.

Can I make these cookies without white chocolate?

Yes! You can leave it out or replace it with milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or even chocolate chunks for a richer flavour.

Total Time50 minutes
Course: Dessert
Keyword: cookies, Cookies and Cream Cookies, Dessert, Oreo Cookies
Servings: 8
Author: biteofthebakes

Ingredients

  • 120g Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature).
  • 200g Caster Sugar
  • 1 Medium Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Bicarbonate Of Soda
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 280g Plain Flour
  • 20g Cornflour
  • 15g Golden Syrup
  • 70g Finely Crushed Oreos
  • 200g White Chocolate
  • 80g Chopped Oreos

Instructions

  • I use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and caster sugar together until combined. This will take 1-2 minutes in an electric mixer (I use speed 3).
  • Add the dry ingredients (Baking Powder, Salt, Bicarb, Plain Flour, Cornflour, finely crushed Oreo biscuits, chopped Oreos and Chocolate) into the bowl and mix for 30 seconds.
  • Add in your egg, egg yolk and golden syrup into the mixture and mix until a cookie dough is formed (the dough will start coming away from the bowl which means it is ready!)
  • Divide the dough into cookie balls, I weighed the dough out to make each cookie 110g-120g each!
  • Place them on a lined baking tray, or into a container lined with baking paper. Chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes. For chunkier cookies, freeze them for 1-2 hours or overnight.
  • While your dough is chilling, pre-heat your oven to gas mark 5/190c/170c Fan.
  • Once chilled and your oven is pre-heated, place the cookie balls onto lined baking trays, leaving space (at least 2") between them to spread slightly. I fit 6 cookies onto my tray but you could bake your cookies in batches!
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, remove from the oven and leave the cookies to cool on the baking tray completely before moving. Your cookies will continue to cook once removed from the oven which makes the best gooey, soft and chewy cookies!
  • Once baked, top with some chopped Oreos and enjoy!
