Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- 9 Halloween Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Mix in chocolate chips and sprinkles: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles evenly throughout the dough.
- Assemble cookies: Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop out dough portions and flatten each in the palm of your hand. Place one Halloween Oreo in the center, then fold the dough around the Oreo, rolling to seal completely and form a ball. Place the stuffed cookie dough seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is slightly softened to ensure easy creaming with the sugars.
- Do not overmix the cookie dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookie size for even baking.
- Seal the dough tightly around the Oreo to prevent the cookie from cracking open while baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an extra festive touch, use orange or black sprinkles to match the Halloween theme.
