Tips & Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your chewy Oreo chocolate chip cookies turn out perfectly every time:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting. Room temperature butter creams more easily with the sugar, resulting in a smoother dough, and room temperature eggs incorporate more evenly into the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the cookie dough until just combined after adding the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Once you no longer see streaks of flour, stop mixing.
- Chill the Dough: For extra chewy cookies and to prevent spreading, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilled dough also allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
- Use a Cookie Scoop: To ensure uniformity in size and even baking, use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the baking sheets. This also makes the process faster and less messy.
- Press Down the Dough: Before baking, gently press down on the cookie dough mounds with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon. This helps the cookies spread evenly while baking.
- Bake in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Leave enough space between the cookie dough mounds to allow for spreading during baking. If necessary, bake in multiple batches.
- Underbake Slightly: To achieve a chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies. They may look a bit soft in the center when you remove them from the oven, but they will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Store Properly: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze the cookies for longer storage, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe container.
By following these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to bake perfect, chewy Oreo chocolate chip cookies that everyone will love!
Recipe FAQ’s
Do I need to crush the Oreos finely?
It’s best to crush the Oreos into small pieces, but they don’t need to be finely crushed. Aim for small chunks or coarse crumbs to add texture to the cookies.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The edges of the cookies should be lightly golden brown when they’re done baking, and the centers may still look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
How long do the cookies stay fresh?
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but will stay fresh for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze the baked cookies for longer storage.
