Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos, with or without the cream filling based on your preference)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven & Prep Pans:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. -
Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. -
Mix the Dough:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. -
Fold in Crushed Cookies:
Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much. -
Scoop and Bake:
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set while the centers remain soft.
-
Cool and Enjoy:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra texture, lightly crush the cookies so they’re still in chunky pieces.
- If you prefer a more uniform dough, mix in the cookie pieces at the very end.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
