Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Assembly

  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 1 1/2 cups Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cold cubed butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Add Cocoa and Wet Ingredients: Blend in the cocoa powder until evenly incorporated. With the mixer still on medium speed, add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and kosher salt. Continue mixing for about 1 minute until the batter is smooth and uniform. Scrape the bowl sides as necessary.
  4. Mix in Flour: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
  6. Prepare Sprinkles: Pour the Halloween sprinkles into a shallow bowl and set aside for coating the cookies later.
  7. Assemble Cookies: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop a portion of dough. Place it on top of one Oreo cookie, then scoop another portion and place it beneath the Oreo. Gently mold the dough to fully enclose the Oreo, sealing it inside the dough ball.
  8. Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each dough-covered Oreo ball in the bowl of sprinkles, ensuring the entire surface is covered for a festive finish.
  9. Bake Cookies: Place the coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. This helps the cookies set and maintain their shape.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is cold to help the dough firm up and encase the Oreo cookie properly.
  • Do not overmix once flour is added to keep the cookies tender and not tough.
  • Press dough firmly around the Oreo to avoid the cookie breaking during baking.
  • Feel free to substitute the Halloween sprinkles with any other festive or colorful sprinkles.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
