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 flour
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Filling
- 9 Halloween Oreo cookies
- Extra semi sweet chocolate chips for topping
Topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat to prevent sticking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, combine the slightly softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir just until the dough comes together; do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles: Gently fold the semi sweet chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles into the dough to distribute evenly.
- Form cookies with Oreo center: Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop out dough and flatten it in your palm. Place one Halloween Oreo in the center, then fold the dough around it, rolling to seal completely.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place each dough ball seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies may look underdone or gooey in the center, which is desired for a soft texture.
- Add topping and cool: Immediately upon removing from the oven, press extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is slightly softened but not melted for the best creaming results.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookie centers gooey and soft.
- You can substitute Halloween Oreos with regular Oreos or any other themed sandwich cookies for different occasions.
- Chilling the dough briefly before assembling can make it easier to handle.
- Use a Silpat or parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
