The only thing better than a cookie is a cookie in another cookie. With sprinkles.
Why You’ll Love These Cake Batter Oreo Cookies
Just like my cake batter chocolate chip cookies, but with Oreos inside Soft-baked centers Crispy, yet chewy edges Colorful with lots of sprinkles Loaded with Oreos and chocolate chips Sweet cake batter flavor
Today’s recipe for cake batter Oreo cookies was inspired by the most popular cookie recipe on my blog—cake batter chocolate chip cookies. Have you tried them yet? They’re a reader favorite and I thought it would be fun to make an equally festive variation. We’ll use the same ingredients with one big change: replace white chocolate chips with Oreo cookies. Dare I say these are even better than the original?
Ingredients You Need
Flour: All-purpose flour is the base of this cookie recipe. Cake Mix: Use dry cake mix straight from the box. You can use any flavor you want, but my go-to is plain vanilla. You’re only using a portion of the box mix—just 1 and 1/4 cups—not the entire box. Baking Soda: Baking soda helps the cookies rise. Salt: Helps balance the sweetness. Butter: Use room temperature butter. You can use this trick to soften butter quickly or set the butter out 1-2 hours before you begin. Sugar: We use a mix of brown sugar and white granulated sugar. Brown sugar yields soft chocolate chip cookies and white sugar helps the cookies spread. Egg: 1 egg binds everything together. Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract adds flavor. Chocolate Chips: 2/3 cup of chocolate chips is the perfect amount for this recipe– any more and the dough would be too weighed down from all of the add-ins. I like to use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even mini chocolate chips would work. Whatever you like to use in your chocolate chip cookies will work here, too. Sprinkles: Use your favorite sprinkles in these cookies. Oreos: Add 10 chopped Oreos for flavor. For lots of texture, I like to keep the Oreos in larger chunks, just as I do with these cookies & cream cookies.
Use Your Favorite Oreos
There are so many different Oreo flavors these days! I like to use golden Oreos because they have a delicious vanilla flavor. I’ve also made these cookies with regular and Double-Stuf Oreos. You can even try peanut butter Oreos, lemon Oreos, anything! And if you have any leftovers, you can try my Oreo cheesecake cookies or Oreo balls next.
