How to Make Monstrously Delicious Halloween Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- For the batter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Halloween Oreo cookies
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s hot and ready for your delicious cookies.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
