Love Oreos? I've got you covered. These easy cookies are quick and easy to make with simple ingredients. 

The cookie dough is made with rich cocoa powder and the Oreo crumbs are mixed into in the creamy frosting. 

Chopped Oreos sprinkled on top of the frosting means that you'll have Oreo flavor in every single bite. 

Once you've made these cookies, you'll want to try my chocolate-dipped pecan sandies and jumbo chocolate coffee cookies.

ingredients

The full list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is listed at the bottom of this page on a full printable recipe card.

Ingredients for the cookies

• all purpose flour - use the scoop-and-level method for measuring the flour.
• baking soda - although baking soda has a long shelf life, sometimes it's a good idea to freshen it up by purchasing a new one. And it's not an expensive ingredient!
• cocoa powder - I used regular cocoa powder or you could substitute dark cocoa powder.
• butter - use salted butter in this recipe. There is no additional salt added to the recipe.
• granulated sugar
• egg - use large eggs at room temperature.
• pure vanilla extract - in a pinch you could substitute artificial extract, but for best flavor, I recommend good quality pure vanilla extract.
• chocolate chips - you use semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and chocolate chunks as well for this recipe.
• Betty Crocker Whipped Vanilla Frosting
• Mini Oreos - you can also substitute regular-sized Oreos.

Ingredients for the frosting

This recipe uses simple ingredients that are easy to find in local grocery stores.
