Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfectly baked cookie. While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will help prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking. This step sets the groundwork for your delicious Halloween Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies!

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. This process combines the sugars, creating a luscious base for your cookie dough.

Step 3: Incorporate the Wet Ingredients
Add in one large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. This will enhance the richness and flavor of your Halloween Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies, making them even more irresistible.

Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of corn starch, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, ensuring not to overmix—the dough should still be slightly lumpy with no visible dry flour. This will guarantee soft, chewy cookies.

Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate and Sprinkles
Next, carefully fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup of Halloween sprinkles into the dough. Use a spatula to incorporate them evenly, allowing the colorful sprinkles and chocolate chips to create a delightful surprise in each cookie. Your dough is now ready for the star of the show!

Step 6: Stuff the Dough
Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, take a generous amount of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a Halloween Oreo in the center and encase it completely in the dough, ensuring no part of the Oreo is exposed. This step is crucial for the gooey, delightful reveal when biting into your Halloween Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies.

Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, pulling them out when the edges appear golden and the centers look just slightly undercooked for that perfect chewy texture.

Step 8: Cool and Finish
After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to firm up. During this time, you can sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top before transferring them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely, and soon you’ll be savoring these delicious Halloween Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies!
