Preparation

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate cookie crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until pale and airy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture until just combined.
Baking

  2. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  4. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure the Oreos are gluten-free. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
