Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness to the cookies. Can substitute with margarine or coconut oil.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetness for classic cookie flavor. Brown sugar can add extra moisture.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds everything together. Can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavors. Pure vanilla is preferable.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Base for cookies. Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder For deep chocolate flavor. Use unsweetened for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Gives the cookies a slight lift. Baking soda can be used but adjust quantity.
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup Oreos (chopped) The star ingredient for crunch and creaminess. Any flavor works, but classic is best.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until it's bubbly and slightly browned. Let it cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped Oreos, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous amounts of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving sufficient space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t over-mix the batter. Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it's too soft. Feel free to mix in chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor. For serving, enjoy with ice cream or cold milk. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
