Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Filling
- 9 Halloween Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a medium bowl, cream together the slightly softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar and butter mixture, mixing until well incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients—flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt—into the wet mixture. Stir just until everything is combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Assemble Cookies: Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup of cookie dough), scoop the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place one Halloween Oreo in the center, then fold the dough around the Oreo and roll it to seal completely.
- Bake: Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. The centers may look underdone or gooey—that is intended as they continue to bake slightly after removal.
- Top and Cool: Immediately after removing from the oven, top each cookie with extra chocolate chips. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is slightly softened for easier creaming but not melted.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to prevent tough cookies.
- The cookies will look underbaked when removed; this keeps them soft and gooey inside.
- Feel free to substitute Halloween Oreos with regular Oreos if unavailable.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
