Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Get ready for the best ever Oreo chocolate chip cookies! These cookies are loaded with Oreo flavor thanks to finely crushed Oreos and Oreo pieces baked into the dough. Plus, they’re ready in under 25 minutes with no dough chilling required!
As you can tell by the blog name, I am a huge lover of cookies and always have tons of homemade cookie ideas. So I decided what could be better than cookies with more cookies inside of them!
I absolutely love incorporating Oreos into my cookies, and sometimes you really just need something with more “oomph” than a classic chocolate chip cookie!
Why You’ll Love My Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
- I tested these crushed Oreo cookies with both regular butter and dairy free butter to make sure they worked both ways and they came out perfectly with either one. Oreo cookies are already dairy free so there are minimal swaps needed.
- This is a freezer friendly recipe, which means you can always have a batch of cookies waiting for you!
- You could switch it up seasonally, making them with orange Oreos around Halloween, red and green Oreos around Christmas, or even just flavored Oreos any time of year.
Ingredients Needed
- Butter: this recipe can be made using regular butter or dairy free butter. It has been tested both ways!
- Oreos: I tested these with regular Oreos, thing Oreos, and double stuffed Oreos, and I personally recommend the classic Oreos as they provide just the right ratio of filling to crunchy cookie flavor.
- Chocolate Chips: you can use either chocolate chips or chop up a chocolate bar. I recommend using semisweet chocolate for this, but you could totally add in some white chocolate chips if you want to. If you plan to do that, you can do half semisweet and half white chocolate.
Step By Step Instructions
Note: Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Step One: Preheat the oven, prepare your baking sheets, and make the Oreo crumbs!
Step Two: Mix butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy!
Step Three: Add in egg and vanilla.
Step Four: Toss in dry ingredients!
Step Five: Add chocolate chips, Oreo crumbs and larger crushed Oreos, then mix them all in.
Step Six: Scoop out the dough, add some more chocolate or cookies on top, then bake!
Now, adding extras on top is never mandatory. If you’re the type to prefer less mix-ins, then feel free to skip it and leave them as is! I mainly do it because I find it makes them look prettier, like something you’d find in a bakery.
You can even add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the cookies, like I do in these chewy cookies and cream cookies.
Expert Tips
- Properly measure your flour – If you over-measure your flour, the cookie dough and the cookies will be too dry and crumbly. It is very easy to over-measure your flour, so I strongly recommend weighing it with a $10 kitchen scale or using the scoop and level method.
- Don’t over-mix the dough – be careful not to overwork the dough when you’re adding the dry ingredients and mix-ins!
- Don’t over-bake the cookies – Take the cookies out when the edges are just set and the middle is still slightly under-baked. If you over-bake them you might get dry and crumbly cookies.
- Use semi sweet chocolate chips – The Oreos already add sweetness to the cookies, so using milk chocolate chips would make these cookies much sweeter. That’s why I recommend using semisweet!

25 Minute Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (158 grams) butter, softened, (regular or dairy free)
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cup + 2 Tablespoon (268 grams) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (125 grams) semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, (regular or vegan)
- ½ cup (55 grams) Oreo crumbs, (or 6 Oreos finely chopped or into crumbs or crumbled in food processor)
- 6 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped, (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Measure out your Oreo crumbs, or make your own by finely chopping 6 Oreo cookies, or placing them in the food processor or blender until crumbs form. You can also add the Oreos to a ziploc bag and roll over them with a roll pin until you have fine crumbs. Roughly chop the remaining 6 Oreo cookies and set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, mix butter and sugars until light in color and fluffy (1-2 minutes)
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Add in the chocolate chips,Oreo crumbs, and crushed Oreos and mix until just combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to make 1.5-2 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the baking sheet around 3-4 inches apart. Stick a few more pieces of Oreo and chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 8-11 minutes. Remove them from the oven when the edges look set. They will look under-baked in the middle!
- Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Would it make much of a difference if I used dark brown sugar in this recipe &/or the red velvet oreo cookie recipe? I just tend to like dark brown sugar better.
The difference will be very slight, so yes you can do that no problem.
These cookies were absolutely delicious! One batch just wasn’t enough, I’ll have to make more next time!
I’m so happy to hear that you loved them Nupur! 😀
Would these be too sweet or rich using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
You can definitely use dark chocolate, if anything it would make them a little less sweet than using semisweet!
OMFG these are so good. I’m amking them again and am going to try with mint oreos. loved them!
Hi Kai! I’m so happy you loved these, and mint oreos sound like a delicious idea! Thanks for the review 🙂
How come my cookies don’t spread out like that? But still comes out good
Hi! If they didn’t spread, you like over-measured your dry ingredients (particularly flour). I always recommend weighing your ingredients with a food scale for accuracy.
