Why You’ll Love These Easy Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Easy Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are festive, fun, and perfect for sharing at parties or bake sales. Each bite is packed with melty chocolate chips, colorful sprinkles, and the hidden crunch of a Halloween Oreo.
They’re also kid-friendly, which means little hands can help with stuffing and rolling the dough. The Oreo-stuffed cookie trend is already indulgent, but adding Halloween Oreos gives it a spooky twist that fits the season beautifully.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Butter (1/2 cup): Adds richness and flavor. Slightly softened butter blends more smoothly.
- Brown sugar (1/2 cup): Provides chewiness and caramel-like sweetness.
- Granulated sugar (1/3 cup): Balances sweetness and helps cookies spread just enough.
- Egg (1): Holds everything together and adds moisture.
- Vanilla extract (1 tsp): Adds warmth and depth.
- All-purpose flour (1 3/4 cup): The backbone of the dough.
- Cornstarch (3 tbsp): Keeps cookies soft and thick.
- Baking soda (1/2 tsp): Helps them rise slightly.
- Salt (1/4 tsp): Balances sweetness.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips (2/3 cup + extra): Melty pockets of chocolate goodness.
- Halloween Oreos (9, orange crème preferred): The star surprise in every cookie.
- Halloween sprinkles (1/4 cup): For color, fun, and festivity.
Optional: Store-bought dough works in a pinch, but homemade dough gives you that thick, bakery-style cookie.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the butter with both sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix again until fluffy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
Add Mix-Ins
Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles. The dough will look colorful and thick.
Stuff and Shape
Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a Halloween Oreo in the center. Gently fold the dough around the Oreo, sealing the edges, and roll into a ball. Repeat until all cookies are shaped.
Bake and Finish
Place dough balls on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. The centers should look slightly underdone—that’s intentional. Once out of the oven, press a few extra chocolate chips on top. Let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Expert Tips for Perfect Halloween Cookies
Slight underbaking gives you gooey centers that everyone loves. If you want bakery-style thick cookies, a large cookie scoop helps keep sizes consistent. Using a stand mixer makes the process faster, but mixing by hand works too.
Storage Guide for Easy Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze them for up to 3 months. To enjoy frozen cookies, thaw and microwave for a few seconds to bring back that warm, soft center.
FAQ About Easy Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I make these with regular Oreos instead of Halloween Oreos?
Yes, regular Oreos work fine. However, the orange crème adds a festive touch that feels perfect for Halloween.
How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?
Make sure your butter is only slightly softened, not melted. Also, chill the dough for 20 minutes if your kitchen feels warm.
Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can refrigerate the dough overnight. Just let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before shaping and baking.
