Description
The ultimate mash-up for anyone who can’t decide between a classic nutty treat and the world’s favorite chocolate sandwich cookie. Combining a soft, buttery peanut butter base with chunky pieces of real Oreos, these cookies offer a sophisticated balance of salty and sweet with perfectly golden edges and fudgy centers.
Ingredients
The Peanut Butter Base
- 1 cup + 3 tbsp (150g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (130g) creamy/smooth peanut butter (traditional)
- 1/2 cup (105g) softened butter (regular or vegan)
- 1/2 cup sugar & 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, 2 tsp vanilla, 3/4 tsp baking soda, 0.5 tsp salt
The Mix-in
- 8 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line sheets with parchment. Chop Oreos into chunky pieces.
Cream: Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy.
Emulsify: Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Combine: Stir in flour, soda, and salt until just combined. Gently fold in chopped Oreos.
Bake: Scoop 3-tbsp balls 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 mins. Centers should look slightly underdone.
Set: Let sit on the sheet for 15 mins to firm up. (Try the ‘Cookie Scoot’ trick for perfect circles!)
Notes
The ‘Cookie Scoot’ Trick: Use a circular cutter to ‘scoot’ hot cookies into perfect circles immediately after baking.
Peanut Butter Choice: Use standard no-stir brands; natural varieties will cause the cookies to spread into a greasy puddle.
Vegan Versatility: Adapts perfectly with vegan butter sticks and a flax egg Oreos are already vegan-friendly!
