Easy Halloween Oreo Cookies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Chill Time 30 minutes
Servings 24 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 ounces unsalted butter 1½ sticks, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 10-12 Halloween Oreos, plus additional chopped Halloween Oreos for topping coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, kosher salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
  • Set the mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Add the softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar and continue mixing for another 2–3 minutes.
  • Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything combines evenly.
  • Add the room-temperature egg and vanilla extract or vanilla paste.
  • Mix until everything is completely combined.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
  • Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the cookie dough.
  • The finished dough should be thick and fudgy.
  • Gently fold the coarsely chopped Halloween Oreos into the chocolate cookie dough.
  • Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. While it's chilling, preheat your oven to 325°F.
  • Once the cookie dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator.
  • Scoop the dough into approximately 2-inch cookie dough balls.
  • Place additional chopped Halloween Oreos in a shallow bowl or plate. Gently press the top of each cookie dough ball into the Oreo pieces so they adhere to the dough.
  • Arrange the cookie dough balls on a prepared baking sheet, leaving enough room between each cookie for spreading.
  • Bake in the preheated 325°F oven for 10–12 minutes.
  • Once they're finished baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 15 minutes before moving or enjoying them.
  • Store leftover Halloween Oreo cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
