    You'll love these cookies and cream stuffed cookies! These soft sugar cookies are loaded with Oreo cookie pieces and stuffed with a cookies and cream frosting filling! No chill time required!

    This recipe was originally published in July, 2020. It has been updated with new photos and video, detailed instructions, and step-by-step photos.

    These cookies and cream stuffed cookies are everything you could want in a cookie. They are super soft and chewy with a sweet frosting center, and loaded with chopped up Oreos. Best of all - the dough doesn't require any chill time!

    The base of these cookies and cream cookies is my favorite sugar cookie dough and it's so buttery and delicious!

    Stuffed cookies (like these nutella stuffed cookies), are like a next-level cookie. They take a little more time that traditional cookies but I promise it's so worth it!

    Why You'll Love These Cookies and Cream Cookies

    • The sugar cookie base pairs perfectly with the soft Oreo frosting that is baked right into the cookies!
    • This recipe has been tested using regular dairy ingredients, as well as using dairy free butter, so you can make it either way.
    • All you need are 10 simple ingredients to make cookies and cream cookies!
    • The cookie dough doesn't require any chill time so you can prep the cookies and bake them right away!
    • If you prefer to leave out the frosting filling, that works too - you can make these as regular Oreo cookies!

    Ingredient Notes

    ingredients to make cookies and cream stuffed cookies in bowls with labels
    • Flour: This recipe calls for regular all purpose flour. Be sure to properly measure your flour!
    • Butter: This recipe has been tested using regular butter and dairy free butter, and can be made both ways.
    • Oreos: for the frosting filling, you can crush Oreo cookies up into fine pieces, or you can use Oreo baking crumbs if you prefer.
    • Egg: I don't recommend substituting the eggs in this recipe, as it has not been tested without an egg.

    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: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of a standing or handheld mixer, mix butter, powdered sugar, and salt until combined. Add in the flour, then the crushed Oreos pieces and mix until combined.

    Step Two: Form the frosting into ½ Tablespoon sized balls. There should be around 20 balls of frosting. Place them on a baking sheet, then put them in the freezer while you make the cookie dough.

    Step Three: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside. In the bowl of a standing or handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

    Step Four: Add the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda) and mix until a dough forms (don't over-mix). Fold in the chopped up Oreo pieces.

    Step Five: Form 40 Tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough and place 2-3 inches apart on baking sheets. Use your index finger or the back of a teaspoon to create a dent in the middle of half of the balls of dough without going all the way through to the bottom.

    Step Six: Remove frosting balls from the freezer, then place into the dents of each of the cookie dough balls. Cover with a second ball of dough, carefully folding the edges to keep the frosting filling sealed inside (it shouldn’t be showing from outside).

    Very gently, push down slightly on the top of the cookie dough, careful not to squish it down too much.

    Step Seven: Bake the cookies one tray at a time for 8-10 minutes, until edges look set, but the cookies are not golden brown on top. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

    FAQs and Expert Tips

    Can I make these cookies without the frosting?

    Sure! Just leave out the frosting to make regular Oreo cookies, or you can also stuff each cookie with a whole Oreo!

    Can I add chocolate chips to these cookies?

    Absolutely! I think these Oreo cookies would be delicious with white chocolate chips (for dairy free, I like these vegan white chocolate chips).

    Can I make these cookies gluten free?

    I have not tested these cookies myself using gluten free flour, but you could try using 1-1 gluten free baking flour and gluten free Oreos if you'd like.

    Why are my cookies crumbly?

    If your cookies are dry and crumbly, you likely over-measured your flour. See expert tips below on how to properly measure flour for baking.

    Expert Tips

    • My number one tip with cookies is always to properly measure your flour: I highly recommend using a $15 kitchen scale to weigh your dry ingredients (metric measurements are in the recipe card below). If you aren't using a scale, be sure to use the scoop and level method.
    • For the best texture, don't over-mix your cookie dough! Stop mixing when the last specks of flour have just disappeared from the dough.
    • Take the cookie and cream stuffed cookies out of the oven before they turn golden brown! They should not be golden brown on top, or else they are over-baked. Taking your cookies out of the oven at the right time is the key to cookies that stay soft.
    • Be sure to seal the frosting inside the cookie dough when assembling the cookies.

    Storage and Freezing Instructions

    The stuffed Oreo cookies can be stored in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 4-5 days.

    You can freeze the baked cookies in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.

    Notes

    Please Note: I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your dry ingredients. Metric measurements are found above under the "Metric" tab.
    Measuring Flour: Please properly measure your flour using either a kitchen scale or by fluffing it up in the bag with a fork, then using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use the back of a butterknife to level it off (the is the scoop and level method)
    Crushing the Oreos (for the Frosting): To do this, I like to put them in a Ziploc bag then roll over them a couple times with a rolling pin. You can also use Oreo crumbs. 
    Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.
    The baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.

          Hi these look amazing!! Can the dough be frozen or can they be frozen once baked?

          January 03, 2022 at 3:07 pm

          Hi Michelle! They can be frozen after being baked or before! If freezing before baking, assemble the cookies, then freeze. Enjoy!
