Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (313 g) All-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (21 g) Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup (227 g) Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large Eggs
- ¾ cup (165 g) Light brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup (150 g) Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Red gel food coloring
- ¼ cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 3 Oreo cookies, blended to fine crumbs)
- 6 crushed Oreo cookie pieces (6 Oreos crushed into bite-sized pieces)
- ¾ cup Semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave until fully melted and cool slightly.
- Prepare the Oreo crumbs by blending 3 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and crushing 6 Oreo cookies into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the dry ingredients: sift together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt in a bowl.
- Beat the butter with both sugars until creamy using a stand mixer.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition along with vanilla and red gel food coloring.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture in three increments until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, Oreo crumbs, and crushed Oreo pieces.
- Chill the dough for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- Shape the cookies into balls and refrigerate while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly wet.
- Cool the cookies on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chill the dough adequately to prevent spreading during baking. For a vegan version, swap eggs for flax eggs and use plant-based butter.
