Why You'll Love It
These Oreo chocolate chip cookies combine the soft, chewy texture of you favorite cookies with tons of oreo flavor.
So whether it’s your first time making stuffed cookies or you’re a pro at crafting loaded big cookies that impress a picky palate, this recipe is easy, fun, and practically foolproof.
Using store-bought dough (like Sweet Loren’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough!) means you’ll have chewy chocolate chip cookies in no time, while still achieving that freshly baked, from-scratch vibe.
But the real magic happens when you place an entire Oreo at the center of the dough. The Oreo bakes into a creamy, crunchy surprise that makes these huge cookies not only delicious but also a total crowd pleaser.
The golden brown cookies are topped with crushed peppermint pretzels and a sprinkle of flaky salt, giving them a festive flair that’s perfect for any occasion.
If you’re feeling ambitious, you could even swap the dough for homemade cookie dough made with unsalted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. No matter how you make them, these chewy cookies will quickly become one of your favorite stuffed chocolate chip cookie recipes EVER!
These cookies are a huge hit for holiday parties, bake sales, or indulging with a tall glass of milk.

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Candy Cane Sandwich Cremes: I love these Festive Oreos with a peppermint twist. You can substitute with double stuff Oreos, regular oreos or any seasonal flavor you prefer.
- Sweet Loren’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough: Her dough makes the process quick and easy. For a more personal touch, try using your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie dough. If you're using another brand, the bake time may vary so be sure to pay attention to the directions on the box.
- Peppermint Dark Chocolate Pretzels: Add a crunchy, minty topping. Swap with crushed candy canes or white chocolate chips if needed. If you want them plain, just leave this ingredient out.
- Flaky Salt: I love adding flaky salt to the top of chocolate chip cookies. It truly elevates the flavor by balancing the sweetness. Use sea salt or kosher salt if that’s what you have.
How to Make It
PREPARE YOUR WORKSPACE: Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
ASSEMBLE THE COOKIES: Flatten half the cookie dough balls in the palm of your hand and place them on the large baking sheet. Put the whole Oreo in the center of each piece of dough. Cover with the remaining dough, sealing the edges to fully encase the Oreo.
BAKE COOKIES: Place cookies in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
ADD THE TOPPINGS: While the cookies are baking, chop the peppermint pretzels. Once the cookies are done, transfer them to a cooling rack and sprinkle the pretzels and flaky salt over the tops.
SERVE & STORE: Serve warm or store the leftovers in an airtight container (or simply wrap them in plastic wrap!) for up to three days.
