Chocolate Oreo Cookies
Description
The Chocolate Oreo Cookies recipe begins with a blend of butter and shortening combined with brown and granulated sugars, then eggs and vanilla are mixed in for richness. Cocoa powder and all-purpose flour add a deep chocolate base, while baking soda and salt provide leavening and seasoning. Chopped Oreo cookies and semisweet chocolate chips lend crunch and bursts of familiar cookie and chocolate flavor throughout. The dough is chilled to prevent spreading and to develop flavors. Cookies bake to firm edges with a soft middle, ideal for those who enjoy chewy cookies with an Oreo twist.
Baking at 350°F ensures even cooking, and letting the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring allows them to set without breaking apart. These cookies can be customized by swapping Oreos or chocolate chip types, so feel free to experiment.
Use room temperature butter that is soft but not melted to achieve proper texture. Proper measurement of flour prevents over-dense cookies. This detailed approach helps produce consistent results with a rich, chocolate cookie that incorporates the fun crunch of Oreo pieces along with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 salt
- 2 cups Oreo cookies coarsely chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening together until well-combined.
- Add sugars and beat until well-combined.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla. Scrape down bowl as needed.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Stir in just until combined.
- Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes.
- Scoop dough by 1.5 tablespoon scoops and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes. The edges should be set but the middles should look soft and slightly underdone.
- Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter that is soft without being melted to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
- Measure flour by sifting or stirring first, then lightly spooning into the cup and leveling to avoid overpacking.
- Experiment with different Oreo varieties or types of chocolate chips to customize flavor and texture.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack so they set properly and don’t fall apart.
