1) Classic Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and both sugars, then mix in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Oreos.
- Scoop onto lined baking sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes, until the edges turn golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
These Oreo chocolate chip cookies are essentially an upgrade to the standard chocolate chip cookie. All you need to do is add in some extra roughly chopped Oreo cookies, and you have your own version of the chocolate chip classic.
These cookies are made using the standard technique, and I like to add the Oreos in large chunks. One bite you might just get chocolate chip. The next bite you will get a chunk of Oreo.
Don't cut them too small. You want to be able to taste the Oreos in the cookie.
2) Oreo-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
- Divide the dough into 12 portions. Press each portion around an Oreo and seal the edges.
- Bake on a lined sheet for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool before serving.
If you love peanut butter, you will love these Oreo-stuffed cookies. These ones have a whole Oreo cookie baked into the center, so you get a surprise when eating one. You could also chop them up if you wanted a smaller amount of Oreo in each bite.
Everybody loves biting into these and seeing the surprise of a whole Oreo cookie in the middle.
3) Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, butter, and sugar until smooth.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder, then fold in Oreos.
- Scoop onto a lined baking sheet. Bake 11–13 minutes, until the edges look set.
These cookies are like mini cheesecakes. You get all that cheesecake flavor in an individual portion. The good thing about adding the Oreos is that they give some extra crunch to these cookies.
A great way of using up any leftover cream cheese you have that needs to be used.
As with all cookies, I like to leave them slightly soft in the middle. They will continue to cook as they set, and you still want them to be kind of fudgy, not overcooked.
4) Oreo Brownie Cookies
Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F. Melt chocolate chips and butter, then let cool slightly.
- Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in the chocolate, flour, and baking powder.
- Fold in crushed Oreos. Drop spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake 10–12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
I love anything that is heavy on the chocolate flavor. These Oreo brownie cookies are just that. Think of them as a mix between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie, with some extra crushed Oreos for crunch.
Just don't overbake them. You want to keep that fudgy texture.
5) Oreo Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F. Cream butter and sugar, then beat in egg and vanilla.
- Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in chopped Oreos.
- Scoop onto a lined baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
If you want to upgrade a standard sugar cookie, then try these cookies, which take a standard recipe and add in some chopped Oreos for some extra crunch and a little chocolate flavor. These are ideal for kids or even the whole family. If you want to be super naughty, try having one while it's still warm.
You will thank me later.

These are definitely for people who love chocolate, using cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and Oreo cookies for a triple chocolate hit. You can play around with the sizes of the chocolate chips and how finely or roughly you chop the Oreos to give you the desired consistency you're looking for.
7) Oreo Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
Method

These are the homemade version of the classic Oreo sandwich cookie. To make these really shine, I would opt to find the best vanilla you can and also your favorite cocoa powder. I'm also a fan of using the best quality butter that I can when baking.

I'm a huge shortbread lover, and the thought of having chopped Oreo cookies in my shortbread excites me. Two of my favorite flavors together in one cookie. If you like rich and buttery flavors, these will be a favorite of yours.
These won't last long.

- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat each in powdered sugar.
- Bake on a lined sheet for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
I love crinkle cookies. They look so good once they are baked, and these are made slightly differently from the other recipes. There's no need for butter, and you can use your favorite chocolate cake mix.
Mix all that together, then fold in some crushed Oreos, and you have a fantastic-looking cookie. The powdered sugar can get a little messy, but it's definitely worth it.

These thumbprint cookies are definitely for the chocolate lovers, using cocoa powder throughout the cookie dough as well as chocolate chips and crushed Oreos.

I love oatmeal cookies, and they are a classic for a reason. They are absolutely delicious. If you like them a little bit sweeter or feel they need a little chocolate hit, try these Oreo oatmeal cookies with added chopped Oreo cookies throughout.
These are a bit more substantial than your standard cookie, with the oats added, but they are still such a treat.

- Scoop onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes. Cool before serving.
I love the combination of white chocolate and regular chocolate, which is what you get with these white chocolate Oreo cookies. Chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips are added to the cookie dough so you end up with something rich and indulgent.
The white chocolate makes the cookies a little bit creamier than usual, and you get some nice crunch from the chopped Oreos. Give these ones a try.

Try to use the best you can find and don't go overboard, as it can easily overpower the rest of the flavors. These are the ideal cookies to have with a glass of milk.

A delicious mixture of white chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and an extra hit of chocolaty-ness from cocoa powder. Don't forget some good red food coloring to give that classic red velvet appearance.
You can make these without the white chocolate chips. They will still be tasty, but I love the sweetness and creamy notes, so try to add them if you can.
