How To Make Oreo Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Oero cookies take just about 25 minutes (in total) to whip up. I've already been through the learning curve for you, so fear not! You’ll need a few important ingredients to achieve the thick, chewy texture perfectly, with NO CHILL time required, then bake them to perfection!

Ingredients

Before we dive into this Oreo Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, let me share the list of ingredients you'll need to achieve the thick, chewy texture perfectly:

COOKIES:

• All-purpose flour: I use Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Flour all-purpose (organic). For GF, just substitute with GF all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 GF Baking flour.
• Baking soda: Acts as a leavening agent for a bit of rise.
• Baking powder: Adds additional leavening for a softer texture.
• Unsalted butter, softened: Contributes moisture and richness.
• Organic cane sugar: Sweetens the dough and aids in spreading.
• Large egg, at room temperature: Acts as a binding agent for the dough.
• Vanilla extract. I find the brand Nielsen-Massey to be amazing and of such good quality!
• Oreo cookies, roughly chopped. The sweet, crunchy, crumbly star of the show. (Use Gluten-free Oreos for the GF option)
• Rainbow sprinkles. For a pop of color and flavor. See the sprinkles i used here.
• Premium chocolate bar. Roughly chopped. You can also use 1 cup of chocolate chips instead if desired.

The Secret To Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies

SHORT ANSWER: THE BANGING PROCESS.

The trick about everything is in the banging. During the baking process, you have to bang the baking sheet with your cookies a few times before they are fully baked. Therefore, the “crinkling” comes as a result of the center of the cookies falling inward, pushing the rest of it outward. I know, it sounds pretty crazy, but it’s so cool!

Combining this “crinkling” process with the flavor combo of Oreos + chocolate + funfetti is like "Heaven on Earth" with each bite.

What is the Banging Process?

The trick with how beautiful these bakery-style cookies look is in the banging. While this process is optional (and you prefer chunky, dome-like cookies), I definitely like doing it a bit to flatten them and have them spread out a bit more.

WHO CREATED THIS BANGING METHOD, EXACTLY?

I originally saw the “crinkled” cookie recipe about 2-3 years ago in the New York Times, which was originally by Sarah Keiffer, a baker and blogger of The Vanilla Bean Blog.

Oreos Aren't Gluten-Free How Can I Make This Recipe GF?

Did y'all know that Oreos have come out with a gluten-free range? Yup! So if you would like to make this cookie recipe gluten-free all you need to do is swap out the flaour for a substitute flour with all-purpose GF flour or 1-to-1 Baking flour

Did y'all know Oreos have a gluten-free range now? Yup! So, if you want to make this cookie recipe gluten-free, just switch out the regular flour for something like all-purpose GF flour or 1-to-1 Baking flour. Volia!

To Chill Or Not To Chill Cookie Dough?

OK, so I know this peanut butter cookie recipe doesn't call for chilling... But if you have extra time when it comes to making the best cookies, chilling your dough or not chilling it makes a difference in the results of the actual cookie once it's baked! Here are the benefits -

BETTER TEXTURE

• The #1 reason why you should chill your dough is to prevent your cookies from spreading too much---which results in a thinner, more crispy cookie. If you want a chewy on the outside soft on the inside cookie then chilling is key!

MORE FLAVOR

• Chilled cookie dough creates more flavor (and a more beautiful color) based on it becoming more hydrated----- This happens from the dry ingredients gaining moisture from the wet ingredients.

So, if you're thinking of chilling your dough, you can do so in as little as 30 minutes and as much as 2 hours (the best results).

Tips for Making the Best Cookies EVERY TIME

Baking the best cookie is kind of like a science, however, I've gathered a few tips that have helped me to master them over the years:

TIP 1: SOFTEN YOUR BUTTER.

This is a must! In the past, I never understood how important this step was, but I've now realized that it is. I like to let my butter sit out for at least 1-2 hours so that it's the softest it can get without melting. If you forget to leave your butter out, I sometimes add hot water to a glass, pour it out, and then add the butter to that heated glass for a few minutes and it works!

TIP 2: CREAM THE BUTTER.

Yet another step that I often overlooked, however, creaming your butter with a mixer until pale and fluffy, helps to make the most softest cookies ever!

TIP 3: ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE PARCHMENT PAPER!

I can't stress this enough. Lining your baking sheet with parchment makes things seamless and prevents your cookies from browning too quickly and sticking to the pan.

TIP 4: ADD IN THE FLOUR IN BATCHES.

We might think that dumping in all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients at once might seem right, but it's not the best thing to do. I definitely recommend adding in the flour/dry ingredients in increments, mixing as you add to create a nicely combined batter without having to over-mix.

TIP 5: FOLD IN ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS.

Never use a mixer when adding in the additional ingredients like the chopped/crushed Oreo cookies, chopped chocolate + sprinkles etc. For one----you risk breaking the ingredients up into small pieces while mixing and two----again, you end up making the chocolate melt (if using in a cookie) or get a little moist, which affects the batter. Simply fold in any added ingredients by hand a few times and you're done!

What Should The Cookie Dough Feel Like?

• Coherent + holds its shape: The dough should still hold its shape and be cohesive enough to form into balls or drop onto a baking sheet. It shouldn't be overly wet or runny.
• Easy to handle: You should be able to handle the dough easily without it sticking too much to your hands. If it feels too sticky, you can refrigerate it for a short while to firm it up.

How to Serve Oreo Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies

I personally think this Oreo Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is best fresh + warm-- not to mention the delicious sweet smell wafting through the house. They are also AMAZING with ice cream, either in a bowl or as an ice cream sandwich.

Try with No-Churn Cookies + Cream Ice Cream for double the Oreo fun or No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream for my vanilla lovers! These cookies are also perfect for topping atop delicious lattes like this Iced Vanilla Latte or Starbucks Copycat Iced Sugar Cookie Latte for the ultimate indulgence!
