Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Beat butter and sugars together until well-combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  4. Add vanilla extract, and mix to combine.
  5. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder; mix until just incorporated.
  6. Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender and process until crumbs form.
  7. Pour the crumbs into a shallow dish.
  8. Scoop dough in 3 tablespoon scoops.
  9. Roll each scoop of dough into a ball and then roll the cookie dough into the Oreo cookie crumbs.
  10. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake about 12 minutes. The cookie should be done at the edges but should look soft and slightly underdone in the centers.
  12. Let cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once the cookies have finished cooling, frost with chocolate buttercream frosting.
  14. Top each cookie with a gummy worm.

Notes

  • Unsalted butter: You can use salted butter. Just reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon or omit the salt.
  • Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar.
  • All-purpose flour: To measure the flour either weigh it or sift/stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level. Using too much flour will give you heavy or dry cookies.
  • Oreo cookies: I use either regular Oreo cookies or dark chocolate Oreo cookies.
  • Heavy cream: The cream works well to help give the frosting its creamy texture and taste.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
