Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Filling
- 9 Halloween Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat to prevent sticking.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles: Add in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles, folding them into the dough evenly.
- Assemble the cookies: Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop the dough, flatten it in your palm, and place one Halloween Oreo in the center. Fold the dough over the Oreo, sealing it completely by rolling it gently into a ball.
- Bake: Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked or gooey in the center, which is ideal for a soft texture.
- Add topping and cool: Immediately after removing from the oven, press extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop for even-sized cookies to ensure uniform baking.
- Slightly underbaking will keep the center soft and gooey—don’t overbake.
- Make sure to seal the Oreo completely with dough to prevent leakage while baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
- For a festive touch, customize with other Halloween-themed sprinkles or colored chocolate chips.
