Ingredients:
– 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 cup of packed brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1 cup of chocolate chips
– 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to create a cookie shape.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the middle.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, these Mom’s Oreo Cookies are ready to be enjoyed with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea. Share them with your family and friends or save them for a cozy night in by the fire.
12. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, though we doubt they will last that long with their irresistible taste!
