In a light-colored pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown bits form at the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool for 40-45 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a mixing bowl, beat the cooled brown butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg until fully incorporated, then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
Take 80g of cookie dough and flatten it slightly.
Place an Oreo Thin in the center and wrap the dough around it, fully encasing the Oreo.
Cut another Oreo into chunks and press a few pieces on top of the dough ball.
Step 4: Chill the Dough
Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for at least 1 hour (or up to 72 hours for deeper flavor).
Step 5: Bake the Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place 4 cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between them.
Bake for 13-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Stuffed Cookies
Use Oreo Thins – They provide the perfect ratio of cookie to filling without being too thick.
Don’t Skip the Chill Time – Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances their flavor.
Experiment with Flavors – Try using flavored Oreos (like peanut butter or mint) for a fun twist!
Store Properly – Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
