Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups coarsely crushed Oreo cookies (about 18 cookies)

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugars. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and creamy at this point.
  • Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the baking soda and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour, which is important for the texture and flavor of the cookies.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. A few streaks of flour are okay at this point.
  • Fold in the Oreo cookies. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. I like to use a rubber spatula for this to avoid overmixing.
  • Chill the dough (optional). For best results, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking and intensifies the flavors. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but the cookies might be a little thinner.
  • Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. This prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheets. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are all the same size.
  • Bake the cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to set up as they cool on the baking sheets.
  • Cool the cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking apart while they’re still warm and soft.
